Scrappy Crossroads Block

 I've been taking a little 

Blog Nap

the last few days :)

But, you can always catch me on 

Instagram under "nedrasorensen"

if you want to see the latest.

I have been working on various quilt projects.

My latest start (notice I didn't say finish)

is a 16- inch

 I'm always looking for ways to use up my scraps

and this was a perfect project

to cut up little bits of left overs

into 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" squares

This is a good time of year to cut up and organize

my scrap bins.

Although, I've barely made a dent :)

For the background fabric

I'm using 

Dark Turquoise 

by

American Made Brand Cotton Solids

This is my first time to purchase this fabric line

and I'm in love!

It has a high thread count, and is solid to the touch.

50 colors available (I want them all!)

and you can't beat the price at $6.99 a yard.

100% US Grown Premium Upland Cotton

I purchased mine at 

3 Dudes Quilting in Phoenix

where they  have a good variety of colors.

Jeff told me the other day they have 22 more colors 

arriving soon.

Yay!
