The Beginnings of My Kitchen Sink Quilt

 Do you remember those 4 patches I was working on a few weeks ago? 


Well,  they are making their way into a bigger block! Each  block will be   made up  with 2 1/2" squares (unfinished )  and  one  4 1/2" blue square ( unfinished).  The finished size of the block will be 8" 


 Eeeh I am excited about this quilt!   I was inspired by  Katy at Katy's Quilt . She shared her quilt  in her October 2021 post . She named it Paper Chains.  I immediately became quite smitten. ❤❤❤


I will be calling my quilt Kitchen Sink because I am throwing all kinds of fabrics in it from Easter to  Christmas   and everything in between.  

 I have been playing with the layout of the blocks . In the end, however, I will arrange mine like Katy's 



Alrighty , I am off to piece more blocks! Thank you for dropping by for a sweet Monday visit. 

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Melisa

Thank you for the sweet visit.

    Color and pattern and scrappy is right up my alley. So very cheerful. And another lovely sampler in the making. :)

    I love your new quilt project - great way to use up scraps or make new scraps teehee! Enjoy the journey because at the end of that road you're going to have a delightful quilt. Fun x-stitch project, too. Happy Monday! Big Hugs, DarleneJ

    I failed to mention that Kitchen Sink is a perfect name for your new quilt. Last night I had a kitchen sink layered with colorful vegie scraps after I made a very tasty salad for dinner/supper. Yummy, yum, yum. LOL
