Leader & Ender blocks continued ...

Last night was the first Friday of the month .. so I thought I would join the ladies over at 

Cheryll's Stitching CubbyHole for her

 FriDaY Night with FriEnDs

It was my first night with the ladies there and I did manage to get some sewing done ... and what I did was to my amazment a fabulous nights work ... 

now some time ago ... like back in May of 2012 I had started a few blocks of some leader and ender bits that I had been sewing together as I went ... there are some pics HERE to show the progess at that point ... 

well over the past couple of years I have managed to put all those 2 and 4 inch patches into 80 x 8 inch blocks and those into 20 x 16 inch blocks and last night I sewed them altogether into a quilt top that now measures 64 x 80 inches ... I had planned on a smaller quilt in the beginning but this is a great size ...  

It is the first scrappy quilt I have made too ... and I love it ... 

I have more 8 inch blocks made waiting to be put together into larger blocks too ... I wonder how many more years they will sit before I put them together ... 

Thanks for a great and productive night Cheryll ... see you next month ...
