This is how far I have progressed on the scrappy five inch blocks. Bonnie Hunter has this quilt in her book...I just made the blocks smaller. Each block has 25 pieces, and was such fun to piece. I am adding a zig-zag border...but my fingers and wrists are sore, so I will leave that for another day.
Above is the larger version I made last year with the tan background (muslin), and the smaller current version. All the fabric in both are scraps from the strip and square bins.
This picture does not do this pattern justice...it is Kaaren of the Painted Quilt's pattern...her first Friday freebie for January. I loved it and had the stitchery done within days, but did not get it made into anything. I just finished this tiny pillow...and just love it. It is so cute! One for each month would be such fun!
Back to work for me...so the fun is over for a while! I changed my blog list, so I can try and keep up with each of you better. Thank you to Karen for helping me! She has an amazing blog...a must see!
Each of you: have a wonderful week!!

Oh Julie this is a big huge WOW! for such a little quilt. How beautiful. And each block has 25 pieces! Adding a zig-zag border will really finish it off beautifully. Such delightfully happy color. You make me happy just being here!
I love tiny little quilts and really need to make something similar. I love how yours is looking!
What a lovely little quilt! And such beautiful happy colours!!
I think I'm going to dream about this one..... :))
I love the big and the small quilts - what a great way to show how things look with just a simple change in size *s*
Little yet powerful in looks...looks like an excellent way to use the little left overs.
The blue trim on the snowman pillow pops out the snowman design so well. Cute as can be.
I loved seeing both quilts side by side...both equally wonderful!
Great-looking quilts. Which Bonnie Hunter book contains this block?
I want to know also! which book is the pattern in?
I love scrappy quilts. I really need to delve into my scraps and make one.
wow small pieces...........looks good......
I love this quilt! It's always fun to see the same pattern done in different sizes and colors, etc. The stitchery is gorgeous, too. Nice work.
Scrappy goodness in both quilts, that's for sure! It is interesting how different they look just based on the background color.
Mr. Snowman looks very pleased to see you!
and truly, I'm honored to be part of your blog list :) Thanks!

Both sizes of the quilt look beautiful, and I too finished Kaaren's design in mini pillow, so cute ! Hugs

The quilts are beautiful. I love the interest the scraps create! Scrap quilts are my favorite for this reason.
