Once again, my present WiP has been inspire by
Jolene from blueelephantstitches.com/. I loved her nine patch Jacob's Ladder quilt. I've reworked the math though and am using four patches to create my own version.
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
I love your Four Patch version of Jacob's Ladder. It's a beauty.
Thanks 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!
I 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.
We had a family red and white Jacob's Ladder growing up which I loved. Yours is a lovely reminder of it. Enjoy.
Your scrappy Jacob's Ladder top is wonderful. Laying it out as you have done really helps with value placement.
I love this, Linda! The Jacob's Ladder design pulls all the different scraps together so nicely. It's going to be a beautiful quilt!
Such 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.
