USING-IT-UP-SEWING PROJECTS, et al

 
Blue Charms is all layered up,
pinned, and ready to be quilted.
I've used up all of my long-hoarded
peacock feathers fabric...

I've kept all of my very favorite
fabrics after the de-stash;
and now I will be using them...;)))
*********************
Here is the Scrappy Log Cabin
flimsey:

I decided that a center-matching
red border would contain
this one nicely...

*********************
And here is my latest progress on
the Pavement blocks; they are
in no particular order, and in fact,
I am not sure I like them all
that much right now...

I am hoping that more blocks
will help....????
Since I am working with scraps and
chunky leftovers, doing any
kind of an even number of
pinks, yellow, and greens
is really not possible.

I did pull some other lighter
pinks from my pink bag,
and a few more greens, and I
will try to add them to the mix.
  
Each pair, if you want to match them up,
require {8} 3.25" cut triangles.
(I need that extra little bit--
.25 of an inch--
 to get the blocks to measure 
4.75" inches);
the centers are 3.5" squares.
&
?????????????????????'s

Should all the yellow centers
 be lined up together
and all the greens etc.???
Or staggered?? 
OR...
Should all the corners 
be the thing
to match?

What are your thoughts??
👀😕👀
YIKES...

I guess trying to figure this
out before all the blocks are sewn is
next to impossible...
At least for me it seems to be...

And so I will continue to sew these
up until I run out of leftover
scraps....

We had a rainy morning and now
the sun has come out to make
it VERY humid 
Here is a shot of our weather station..
When that Dew Point climbs up into
the 70's our AC goes on and we
GO INSIDE>>>

I hope you are getting some sewing in today...
