For this quilt I am only using scraps and offcuts from other projects. I'm not cutting into any fabrics from my stash. Not that I'm short of stash fabrics, but I've got too many bits and pieces that are "too big to throw out", but too small to do much with! It will be interesting to see how big the quilt gets before I run out of "bits". The tiny light triangles are mainly offcuts from step 2 of last year's Bonnie Hunter mystery. A lot of the medium and dark fabrics are from that mystery or Easy Street from the year before. I was wondering what I would use for the centre sashing, as I only had small pieces of light-coloured fabrics, but then the instructions from a few printed panel projects I made years ago came to light. I found them tucked away in a shoe-box during the move. I thought it was an empty box, and grabbed it to pack some breakable thing on the last night, and possibly said a rude word when I realised it wasn't empty, but was in fact MORE bits of fabric!

This block has me interested as well. I've not completed a complete block yet - like you - am trying to use scraps - just hope I live long enough!!!!
I really like those crosspieces fabric; the black and white just draws your eye into the center...lovely block work. Hugs, Julierose
It turns out it was a good thing that last shoe box had neutrals in it, instead of nothing! Love you colors & sharp points! I'm impressed you are using up bits - that's awesome.
Looking good fitness freak. Love your use of text.
I just tried this and have only managed one quarter of a block so far. But I love how it uses the tiny triangles.Trying to resist the urge to colour coordinate it and keep it scrappy as you did but it is tempting to do the triangles as a colour run
