En Provence, Clue 5 Et Al

This week's En Provence clue was super easy:  64   half square triangles.   Again, I don't have the variety of dark blues I'd like to be using, but I want to use up scraps, so I'm not buying anything else.


It left me time to  cut all the scraps for Charlotte's mystery quilt, Surrounded by Scraps.  http://scrapitudequilts.com/time-to-get-this-show-on-the-road/


These scraps are from my scrap trash, the wadded up, unsorted fabrics I haven't wanted to deal with.  I also got all the background cut for this quilt.  I chose to use one fabric for the background, which made the cutting go a lot faster than it would have if I'd used scrap trash for the background too.

And I worked on Dawn's Early Light.  This is a quilt I started this summer and have been using as a leader and ender project.


I have 37 big string blocks, 74 small string blocks and 58 friendship star blocks.  I don't know how many I need since I haven't decided how big I want this quilt to be or what the layout will be.  I'll just keep making units for a while.
