Scrap Attack quilt progress

I received these blocks as a gift from the Guild members, as a thank you for my work as president.  I posted about it back on Aug 27/2025 if you want to read more about this quilt.  

During the Christmas break when I had the week between Christmas and New Years off, I pulled out the blocks for this quilt and put them back up on my design wall.  I am making this my main, primary project, after I complete the blocks from my list of required blocks.

I wanted to make the quilt just a bit bigger then I would have had with the gifted blocks, so I am making some along the way to fill in the areas to complete the quilt.  Since I put these quilt blocks back on the design board, I made four more blocks and was able to then assemble the bottom two rows of what you see on the wall.  It's coming together!  There are now five rows put together.

Here is a sample of a single block.  The members only instructions were to think of me and make it bright....lol.  I'd say this person succeeded.  This particular block is going along the perimeter, as I am trying to make a secondary design that merges into the first border.  

If you look at the first picture above, in the top left hand corner, you will get a glimpse of what I mean.  All the perimeter block's strings, that run along the border are going to be blue, and they will mesh with the first small blue border.

There is no rush for this quilt, so I am enjoying doing it at my leisure.  A block here, a block there.  No stress, no deadlines.  I want to start doing more quilts where I can slow down and just enjoying the process.  It's much more relaxing.

Take care everyone.
