I started a stacking bricks quilt

I wrote a post about the inspiration of this quilt on Tuesday, August 12th and drafted it up to make one in the future, but I didn't think I was going to start one this soon....  Wednesday after work, I started cutting into my scraps that were smaller chunks of fabric.  I had a full bucket and now I only have half.  That cool!  Using up scraps is my goal. 

By the end of day, all the pieces were cut out and I had these rows set up to be sewn together.  The original quilt is sitting in the top right hand corner of the picture waiting for it's binding.


Today, I had the day off, to decompress.  What better way of relaxing than quilting?  I managed to sew all the vertical seams and half of the horizontal seams.  It's going pretty smoothly, with only a couple of mishaps with placement, that were easy enough to fix.


It makes me feel good, that I am almost done this one.  I have so many quilts on the go....  I really didn't need to start another one.  At least this one will be able to be crossed off the list quickly.  I don't usually stall out when I reach this stage of the construction.  

Take care everyone.
