I'm using a real mishmash from my stash, precious pieces, forgotten fabrics & dated designs, along with a few recent designer fabrics thrown in for a special treat. Loving how well these scraps all work together, no matter if they are modern or more traditional.
Here's a few progress pics from down on the design floor ...
next design decision: how many blocks to make?
* and there's some progress a few days later ...
Assembly may take some time though😂

I love this layout - beautiful. It looks like a lot design wall work too
ReplyDeleteI love your Four Patch version of Jacob's Ladder. It's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
It's always good to visit Blue Elephant Stitches.com too.
I really like this design, but I can't figure out the block. Are you making blocks or laying out the whole design to then be sewn in rows? It is intriguing.

Yes, yes! This is looking good! I enjoy seeing how you piece your range of scrap prints. Though, I think you really cannot go wrong! Good for you to make HSTs. They're one of my least favorite patches to piece, but they are always effective in a quilt design. Good job you!
ReplyDeleteI know I did leave a quick comment on Instagram but will repeat here, this is the perfect pattern for using up small scrap pieces and they don't have to be matchy-matchy which is a good thing. Beautifully colourful and such a nice design.
ReplyDeleteWe had a family red and white Jacob's Ladder growing up which I loved. Yours is a lovely reminder of it. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy Jacob's Ladder top is wonderful. Laying it out as you have done really helps with value placement.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Linda! The Jacob's Ladder design pulls all the different scraps together so nicely. It's going to be a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch a joyful collection of scrappy goodness! I agree that assembly will be a long and laborious journey but I am sure it will make one darling, cozy, and cuddle-worthy quilt.
