At our last workshop some of us started making scrappy blocks for our final quilt of 2009. I have been experimenting with how to make the instruction sheets small enough so that I don't clog up your email inbox with large files so here is my attempt.
This second page has a lot of blank space to be filled when the quilt is finished but it also gives a few more ideas for scrappy blocks. There are even more ideas if you follow the links to Scrappy Quilts and Typing Paper Block on this blog.
The idea is that everyone makes either 6 1/2" or 12 1/2" scrappy blocks of any design and sends them in. We can then arrange them all as per usual and see the magic that can happen when such a random idea is put into action.
Let's give it a try. Looking forward to seeing all your scrappy blocks.
We started in 2007 with a quilt made one very rainy weekend with friends from across Sydney and across the world connected by patchwork and quilting. Our members have included quilters and novices from far and wide - NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland (Australia), New Zealand, Massachusetts and Connecticut (USA), N.Ireland, Cornwall, Shropshire and Wales (UK). All our quilts are for charity, either raffled to earn money or donated directly to a nearby charity.
