Red and White

A long time ago, I started to put little bits of scraps red on white or white on red in a plastic bag. 

By themselves. Not with the rest of the reds. 

Why? I do not know. I haven't done that with blue on white, or any other colour. I guess red is more attracting, maybe? Or because of that exposition of all the gorgeous red and white quilts, hanging from the ceiling a few years back. Remember that? 

Anywho! 

I thought one day I would have enough to make a crumb block with only the red and white bits. 

This week, I found the little bag.

It isn't a big bag at all but I managed to get two blocks out of it. 

Okay, okay, you are right, the blocks are not very big but they are cute!

The first one was the 18 Bricks. I also finished a second green one this week. They need pieces cut at 1.5 X 2.5". 

Then I did a Hollow 9 with some 2" squares. 

The one one the right comes from the little bag. The left one is made with "regular" reds.

 

Also assembled some of the blue that were kit previously. All these blocks were my leader-ender while I work on Friends' Favourite. 

I was coughing so much this week that I took 2 days off from work to rest and survive. And sew. 

Some sewing time was spend attaching labels to the baby quilts. I decided to use some fancy stitches.

 Artisanat Sainte-Trinité (Holy Trinity Craft). 

It's the battle of the seasons here. Winter and Spring are at it like Tom cats. I will sit by the window this weekend and watch them argue over my front lawn while I sew. ❄🌻⛄🌷

Enjoy! ;^)
