Brown Scrappy Blocks is a top

Finally .... i have finished piecing brown scrappy blocks .... actually rectangles .... 3 1/2" x 12 1/2"..... 90 of them. took fforever. or so it seems.

I was debating what to use for the alternate blocks. the choices were red, green, purple or yellow. i liked them all. it finally got down to what i had enough fabric for sure and wouldn't run out. so red it is.


I wasn't going to put a border but hubby insisted it needed a red border. so there it is.  it seemed much larger but is actually only 80" x 98".


Quite a few blocks have dogs in them.


I love those dogs. leftovers from a quilt for the vet.


Gingerbread men cookies and dog bones. cookies leftover from things in jars quilt.


Peanuts in the shell.  leftover from I Spy quilt


Potatoes ... also from the I Spy blocks


This is going to be a weighty quilt. the scrappy brown sections have a foundation ... plus there are many seams on those blocks.

It was one of my goals for this month so i am happy to have this top pieced. now it moves into the to-be-quilted cabinet with all its cousins. not to be seen again for a while .... for sure not ...

tomorrow
