Fruit Loops quilt

Guess what?  I'll give you a hint.....you don't have to think about it too much.....what is the one thing that I am notorious for.....any guesses?  You likely all know what is coming next....lol.

I started another quilt!!!  These pieces are cut off corners, from a friend's quilt, while she was making blocks.  Similar to the cut off triangles you get when you are doing a snowball corner or flying geese corners, except these are elongated rectangles.

I posted about my friends quilt back on March 10th called Yummy colours.  In my mind, I called her quilt citrus quilt, as her quilt had all the colours of citrus fruits, from lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, and even pink grapefruit!!  I've decided to calling this new quilt Fruit Loops....lol.  

While I was sorting all the coloured pieces, it just reminded me of the colours of Fruit Loops and to solidify this the white pieces have circles, the shape of Fruit Loops...lol.  It may not be imaginative or profound, but it will work for me to know what quilt I am talking about.

While making her blocks, my friend ended up with a set of lefthand side and a set of righthand side cut off corners.  So today, I sorted out the large pile of pieces into white right sides and white left sides.  Then coloured right sides and coloured left sides.

I started this quilt late in the day.  Managed to sort out the piles and sew a handful of rectangular squares.....is that even possible......a rectangle being a square?  I don't feel right calling it that, but I don't feel that it qualifies as being a block either.....  A block to me is considered many pieces made up into a block......hmmm......I'll have to think about that one.  If anyone knows the correct term, just let me know in the comments.

Here are some of the pieces I sewed together all trimmed up.  Not all the fabric pieces are exactly the same size, so some will have to end up being a smaller size at 3 1/2" x 2" finishing at 3" x 1 1/2".  Then there will be the majority that will be 4" x 2 1/2" which will finish at 3 1/2" x 2".

For now, I plan to keep these beside my machine and use them as leader/enders, between working on other quilts.  There is no rush for this one, as I haven't really planned a quilt for them yet.  I'll just keep making them until they are done and see if something comes to me.

Take care everyone.
