I'm still in the blues ... for now.
Ann and Andy - August 5 - 32 pieces
Laurel Wreath - 49 pieces. Not an easy one but I'm really happy with it.
Old Snowflake - 29 pieces. It is so pretty. I love this one except the diagonal lines are cut at 3/4 of an inch. They finish at 1/4 inch. If you examine the top left corner, you'll see that I sew it 1/8" bigger than the others. When the pieces are that small, 1/8 of an inch is a BIG thing.
Seesaw - 20 pieces. Here's another one that I really like.
August 9 - Big "O" - 9 pieces. This is definitively too easy. An extra hard one is about to show up, I just know it.
Shooting Star - 20 pieces. That's the last of the brown fabric and I really loved that one. Oh well, we do buy it to use it, right?
Dewey's Victory - 28 pieces. There's the extra hard one. The pinwheel in the middle is the size of a quarter. It is also my blooper block, lol.
With these done, I realized that I am running out of dark blue fabrics. I keep using the same one. Some I need to keep to use in the outer border corners so the quilt will look cohesive. I have to go shopping soon. Oh poor me! Lol.
While I get time to get the fabrics, what can I sew? So I started to make more blocks for an older project. These blocks are bigger. Brighter. Bolder. (Gosh! It's starting to sound like the 6 Million Dollar Man. If you were around in the 70s and were on this side of the ocean, you know about Steve Austin. I bet you can still hear the sound effect when he moved.) Anywho!! I made these two blocks.
and the bolder
I'll have to look up again what this pattern is called because I can't remember. It's an Ohio Star Variation of some sort. I love Ohio Star.
These two will join the five others already made. I don't know where this project is going but I know that I don't have to make a lot of these as they will be paired with ... something.
That's all for now.
Stay calm, stay cool and sew on.
;^)
P.S. Just to prove that I fixed my blooper and that those blocks are really that small. :^D
Have a great weekend.

Wow, that is one SMALL pinwheel! I love that Ohio Star variation! Will have to draft it out and try some blocks for another quilt. Like I needed another project, haha!

Love those bitty blues! I'm admiring your persistence, too - those little things are a lot of work!
That Ohio Star variation is wonderful, too. And tempting... 8)
Lots of amazing and tiny blocks! What a quilt that will be, Chantal! I really like your blues and browns together. Happy shopping for more fabric!
having the blues looks like a good thing for you! great blocks!
Yep, I can hear the Steve Austin music in my head! I must be old or something. All your blocks look great! Such tiny piecing-- what patience you have!
I love seeing these. All so small!
Ta rigueur te fait réaliser de très jolis blocs !
Bravo Chantal !
Love the variety of itty bitty blocks and the colors. Way to go!
These tiny blocks are all so amazing! Thanks so much for sharing with Oh Scrap! I am fascinated with them.
Oh! That sweet hand-sized block in dark BLUE. LOVE it!!!
Awesome little blocks! When I make things that small I foundation piece them, but looking at these I think you have simply sewn the pieces together.
