After the excitement of the past week I do not feel like quilting. Even sewing some scraps together to 'make' fabric does not turn me on. But then I remembered Em's post challenging other quilters to join her in a scrap project, using 1 1/2inch pieces to make 4 patches. She has her first tutorial here.
I already had a lot of those little squares pieced together before I joined Em in her challenge. And now I am making two different quilts!
This has been an ongoing project for me. (Ongoing for a long time!) I just cut scraps when I have a few that are too small for anything else. So a couple of days ago I decided to continue with the cutting of my donated and other scraps. This is such mindless work that I was able to do it while listening to music. It was very relaxing. I use the squares for leaders and enders, but I also take some time, every now than then, to just sew some together.
I had already cut a lot of squares to make an OMG Quilt. I started it in 2010. Here is my progress. Again, this is an ongoing project that I don't think will be finished anytime soon.
Hope everyone has a terrific weekend! The Creative Festival is in Toronto this weekend. I am going down tomorrow to take a look around. I plan to buyno fabric. :-)
4 patch blocks.

Patches sewn into 9-patch blocks.
9-patches joined to larger 9-patch blocks.
This is an alternating block for the OMG quilt. I can use more of my 4-patches on this one.
