We also have our next challenge! Louise handed out assorted scarves and challenged us all to make something for easter ...soft toy bunny/easter eggs/baskets, etc.....they could/will end up very colourful and cheerful !!
And our monthly block lotto for April is based on the slab concept : sewing scraps together to make a piece of fabric. (from "Sunday Morning Quilts" by Amanda Jean Nyberg & Cheryl Arkison)
I chose to work with purple, as it's not a colour I have used alot!
I found myself automatically going along a sort- of- log cabin assembling style, which I don't think is the real idea! I had to work really hard to make the starting white square NOT in the centre!! Didn't really succeed thou'.
I also found my corners got a bit chewed up as I did the recommended quick zigzag around the outside edge of the block.
Still, I'll make another one, or ten ...it's kind of addictive & fun !!!
So a few "works in progress" right now as you can see!
Linking up with Lee @ WIP Wednesday.

Quick work on the slab Linda. I really liked all the blue fabrics from our fabric swap - they have started a new project percolating - more of a WHIMM (Work Hidden in My Mind) than a WIP at this stage.
I've been meaning to try the slab method myself- I think I would probably switch to a pattern-style myself! but yours looks great!
Love the low-volume stash. I think they'll be really pretty with the rest of what you're working on.
