My dad was a cartoonist from a very young age.
Checkers and hearts, just more blocks for a scrappy quilt
Seems that many of these using scraps of material dont work the same way when using my old singer to applique the edges. I could invest in a new machine, but not likely.
Another block here.
Checkers and hearts: block 27
Just more fun, scrappy quilt blocks, no new fabrics or thread. This one is a little rough admittedly, but the idea is fun.
Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks, each unique
Heart quilt with checks and hearts, individual blocks are so different and so fun to create. All from scraps, truly becming a scrappy quilt. This one, hearts specifically for one of my three granddaughters.
Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks, each unique
This quilt block has a heart made of left over lightweight blue jeans material which came from Polly Flinders down on 8th St. Cincinnati Ohio, in the 1980s. I bought tons of cutting-pieces from them there, as their cutters worked either in the same building or nearby. I mourn the loss of that company’s cutters and i think they ended up somewhere in the east by the coast. Anyway — the blue jeans cuttings were from little girls dresses, and it still has the cotton feel and still has that raveling look.
I am still using the 70 year old “green” portable singer…LOL, forward and backward stitches, and 4 settings of zig-zag, thats it.
Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks
Lots of check and hearts for this quilt for my granddaughter. Each is unique. Thats so much more fun than making 56 of the same thing, besides being a great way to use up the left over squares already cut, and the scraps of black, white and red fabric. I was a little surprised to find that the “star” made this distinctly more like a flag than a quilt block…LOL.

Brand Loyalty: LOL, who knows this feeling
This is a pillow for my daughter, just for the fun of it. BMW, flower fabric, quilted pillow.
And a couple quilt blocks, for a future project.
Checkers and hearts: quilt blocks
Feeling the need here to cast love to the world, so much is wrong, so much could change, so many would have better lives.
Quilt block here for my granddaughter’s quilt. She wanted checkers, and hearts and blacks and whites. I have used only scraps (since I have tons LOL). Blocks are 10″ square and I will put the quilt together with very small black and white checks as a sashing. Nothing perfect here, just playing games with scraps that have been sitting around for many years.
