Wednesday at SQG sew day I started sewing Scrappy Duo blocks. It is a quilt pattern from Fons & Porter’s Quilting Quickly Summer ’14.

Instead
of purchasing a Layer Cake of fabric, I used the stash of scraps and fat
quarters to cut the 10” squares. One
thing I especially like about the pattern is when you sew the blocks, you create
2 blocks alike; plus at the same time you make 2 HST blocks from each square of
fabric which will make another small quilt.
In my pile of UFOs and orphan blocks, I pulled 9 bug jar blocks that
were left over from a quilt I made in 2003. I made 2 more jars and paper-pieced
the frog, dragonfly and snail. I did not have enough of the dark brown background to make any more blocks. After
adding shelf sashing and a frame, this is how it looks. The pattern is named "Escaping Bugs" by Bottle Quilt Co..
It is small so I am thinking of adding a
made-fabric wide inner border and then a regular outer border.
