I haven’t shared the progress on my leader/ender blocks in a while. This shows four blocks put together.
Each rectangle was cut 2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. I sew twosies as leaders/enders and when this little pan looks full, I stop and make a 12 inch block.
It doesn’t take long to make one or two blocks and is a good thing to do when I have a few minutes to fill. I think I will stop at 64 blocks for a quilt 96 by 96. Maybe. I might change my mind. At this point, I have 41 blocks made. Here is what they look like all together.
I have really enjoyed making these and consider this project my first real success at using leaders/enders to create a whole new quilt.
Linking up with A Quilting Chick, Quilting is More Fun Than Housework
What a great idea, and a fun way to use up scraps. I need to get organized and do this.
Wow, you are making so much progress on this Katy! 96×96 is a BIG quilt….my husband loves big quilts. He thinks I never make mine big enough!
Looks good. That gray is a great alternate rectangle! (My leaders and enders are rather dormant, but not forgotten.)
A grand mosaic!
My leader ender attempts typically end up as “let’s work on this full time” projects. I keep trying, but so far none of mine have stayed leader-ender very long. Your blocks look GREAT!
Love it Katy, and the gray is perfect. Did you pursuance the gray and if so how much. 🙂

Wow! It’s beautiful!
This looks great! I really like the irregular placement of colors. Too often, I think a quilt can look too planned. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
it looks great!!!!
It’s so pretty. It’s going to be a big quilt. What a great way to use up scraps
Love it! The blue-grey blocks really show off your prints nicely.
Love that last photo, it looks wonderful! and big!
Thank you for showing the whole design wall, it is very impressive!
Umm WOW!!!!
A great leader/ender project!
Love this scrappy quilt! What is the grey fabric you used to offset all the bright colors? I’m making a scrappy Irish chain right now with primarily super bright Kaffe Fassett fabrics, and im struggling to find the setting fabrics. Thanks!
