Today I decided to cut all the fabrics that I need to make the college quilt I posted about on 8/15. I plan on making it completely from my stash.
Well all was going well until I was only able to cut 70 squares from the black print fabric. I needed 99 blocks!
I actually have no more fabric left to cut, just bits and pieces.
So I decided to piece the leftover pieces and make the 29 more blocks that I needed. They have to measure 6x6 so I had to amend 2 of them with some white fabric.
So far so good. The picture shows the 1st set of required blocks and then the blocks I came up with.

The fabrics look great Betsy, look forward to seeing them sewn together
ahhh... I have done this many many times. Lookin' good! Is this for a college student?
I love the fabrics, especially that tiny touch of red. Can't wait to see the quilt start to come together.
Do you want more? I can pick up a few FQs at the shop that would fit nicely into this quilt for ya :)
Congratulazione, hai lavori belli!
A creative solution to the fabric shortage! It will provide fun conversation to all who will admire it.
The fabrics look great Betsy, look forward to seeing the finished quilt cheers Marc
