Those Blue scraps
For what seems like years, but is only really a few months, I have been trying to reduce the amount of blue scraps that I have accumulated. I have a plastic box with a lid that I could no longer get the lid to fit except by basically sitting on it. So I decided it had to be reduced. Now I am very much a hoarder, always think that if I throw it out or give it away I will need it. So this is what I have come up with, it still needs one more plain border (maybe two) I want to make it into a doona cover for my bed.
If my adding up is correct there are a total of 136 blue squares made from the scraps. Eleven borders so far and the turning in the centre. I made it up as I went along.
The centre is sixteen 4 1/2 inch squares. All the rest are 5 inch, except for four in 3rd border which I had to make bigger to make them fit.
By the way the lid now goes down on the box easily, but it is still full.
