This week I got out a few novelty fabrics and made a few more random blocks.

But I ALSO found this quilt I made many years ago when I felt like making random blocks. The blocks here were mostly things I found on the internet or modified from the other people’s ideas.

I had forgotten about this one. My thought now is that it doesn’t hang together very well, but I still like the individual blocks and probably will repeat some of them in the current block-making frenzy.

Quilt name: The Ultimate Scrap Quilt

Size: 60″ x 60″

Designed and pieced by: me

Quilted by: Andrea Walker

Surprisingly, I had some spare time this week, so I made a quilt top and fooled around some.

Here’s the quilt top, made to use up the beautiful fabric from the Robert Kaufman Ancient Beauty fat quarter bundle I couldn’t resist. I already made one quilt from the bundle, so I’ve done my thing. This one is intended for Flying Horse Farms, so I’ll send it to my friend who quilts those for our group.

Then I looked through a number of possible projects and decided just to make a group of blocks for fun, using some of my Alison Glass fabric. Of course I added some fabrics from other collections, especially novelty fabrics.

Here’s my favorite block so far:

My husband grew up in Roswell, NM, so I include UFO blocks in my quilts whenever possible. And for once it’s “the real” UFO, not the usual UnFinished Object we quilters are familiar with! Even stranger, I recall shelving those books about “The Roswell Incident” when I worked in the library during high school! Interesting how those things come around.
