Today was pretty but cold. I did all my chores and then after supper I made three more blocks for the LHQSQ (Sampler Quilt.)
I am not sure I can tell you the names of these. I know the first one is Thrifty.
The next one she has listed as Double X No. 1
Then there is this one, a Four-Patch Chain
But this last one is not in the Quilt Along at all. Rather I took the leftover pieces and decided to make my own block. So, unless someone knows a "proper" name for it I am calling it "Monday Leftovers."
Honestly, I really like this little block. The quarter-square triangles combine with the half-square triangles to make an interesting block.
Do you ever create your own blocks just for fun? I find it entertaining. For me it is like playing with some of the tangram puzzles I did as a pre-teen.

I LOVE your "Monday Leftovers" block!! Very creative!! There are sooooo many possibilities with mix-and-match Squares/HST/QST in a simple 9-patch. Your block would make a very nice full-sized quilt - ;))
My fave is the second photo. I always like distinct contrast, and that one seems to have it the most. That said, I can see a quilt of any of these blocks being striking. Their bright colors carry them!
All of those blocks are nice and especially the Monday Leftovers. The fabrics are fabulous, too :)
I love all of them. I'm so happy that someone is sewing and getting things done. Good for you!!!
