Quilt Pieces - No Plan

Somedays you just need to do something creative. The day this happened I had some scraps on my table and said "Hmmmm.... I could just sew those together."  Then things happened as I said "What if....?"  Suddenly I had to chunks made and pressed and sort of trimmed.  Certainly more trimming could happen OR more pieces could be sewn onto either of them. 

The tilted cross block was first. I started with the green and purple. Then I saw that orange strip and said "Oooh, I want to add that into this!"  And I did. 


One piece was trimmed off that block before the photo. There was more of the green, some purple and a white on white strip. The blue batik was a strip trimmed from a quilt backing. 
One piece of green was cut with a wavy edge. Hmmmm... I placed it on top of part of the blue batik and matched the curves. I love the motion that adds to the piecing. 


Where will these go?  As yet, I don't know. I do NOT have a plan but I am sure they will find a home in a nice wildly scrappy quilt like this one or maybe this one.

Puzzled Faces

About a week ago, my Mom told my brother that she wanted to put a puzzle together. She picked one that my nephew had made for her with a picture of him, me, and Mom.  This puzzle has 1014 pieces and because of several elements, it is a difficult puzzle. However, the three of us, Mom, my brother and I finally got it together - for the second time. 

The wall, and our clothing made this quite a difficult puzzle. However, the photo is a good one as we all are smiling and look nice. 

Linking up with Nicole for the Friday Face Off.
