Lego Quilt Progress

 I was up late last night determined to have 4 blocks of 'lego quilt'  assembled on the design wall  as a reward for Sunday's marathon piecing section.

 The stages involved are :
1 - chain piecing patches of strips, light/dark with medium into 2-patches
2-  chain piecing the 2 -patches into 11 inch strips ( adding extra bits on as necessary)
3- pressing the strips (that took a while!)
4-  chain piecing 2  strips together
5 -  Randomly deal out 5 x double strips (below)  but weeding out  duplicate fabrics ( not had to do too much of this so far - have over 200 different ones!).  Sew together

 I'm loving how the random colours work together , now the decision is  what arrangement to use.
( it will be 4 x 5 ten inch blocks). What do you  think? Rail Fence or Bricks?

 A -'Rail Fence'

 

B - 'Bricks'



Baby Bunting

This weekend I've been mostly chain-piecing after cutting around 150  x 1 1/2  inch strips from my stash (on which it made no impression!) then assembling  1- 5 inch bits of those in pairs of medium and light and medium and dark trying hard to be relatively  random.
From this heap of bunting, hopefully a 'lego  quilt' for a colleague's baby will emerge...
