Found treasures

Found this tin with 4 patches made of 2 Inch  squares

Fun to play with

Decided to um clean up

And CYNTHIA  at quiltingismorefunthanhousework.blogspot.com was making one of these

I have lots of 1.5 strips

All pieces are cut at 1.5 x 3.5 to make the block

So I said hmmm let me clean up a few strips

Yes I really told myself that

Then I cut the pieces and 1.5 squares on the ends for my squares barrel

So far so good

Then I said I just want to see how one looks with my fabrics

Then one became 2

Then 3

Until these happened

I need a container to put them in as it will be a long term thing

They finish 3x5 in the quilt

But what a fun scrappy quilt I think

And who doesn't have 1.5 inch strips?

A 14 to 15 inch length gives the outer 4

I will pin in groups of 4 Then match with single centers

Then a day of play pedal to the metal and more blocks will be born 

Sweet....

A metal tin full of 4 patches

Just need to sew this on

Today I would have been married 39 years

April is a tough month now

My birthday, Easter and anniversary without my Richard 

But I know he is watching over me and Dunks

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE

You are always on my mind

Love you. Miss you
