16 patch scrappy quilts

In an effort to keep all of my QAL balls in the air - - I've been working on the Bust Yo Scraps quilt. (See the button in my sidebar).

Here's the newest set of blocks I made this week... These blocks are called Crosses of the U.K. - and they are tiny! I raided my Kate Spain scraps to make these. I also decided to pull the fabric for this year's 12 Days of Christmas in July quilt along, and cut the strips so they are ready to take along on…

My self-imposed ban on blog reading and posting is over as Lent ends tonight. I was only posting finishes on my blog, since this is my way of keeping track of what I've done and, more importantly, when.
