I received our first charity block yesterday! And it's a beaut!
I finally started cutting my fabric for my blocks. There has been a lot of talk over at Flickr about getting the blocks to 12.5". I decided to cut my strips to 1.5" and 2.0" (instead of 1.75"). This actually made cutting very easy. I cut strips to 3.5", cut my fussy cut centers from those strips. And then cut my strips into two pieces (2" and 1.5"). Easy peasy!
And that's as far as I've gotten!
But I keep looking for inspiration. How will you be using your blocks?
Maybe a quilt, like this:
Or a table runner like these:
More inspiration coming!

What a great idea to cut your strips 3.5", fussy cut, then cut your thinner strips!
I *love* all this inspiration! Now I might have to make even *more* blocks ;-)
Oooh, great block! I LOVE that melly and me quilt -- it's a classic by now!
I'm really looking forward to receiving my scrappy blocks. I haven't thought yet about exactly what I'll make with them, but you've given me some ideas.
Not sure. depends on what they all look like together when i get them... maybe a runner maybe a xmas tree skirt! ;-)
i love the inspiration pictures! I sent my blocks at 13" square with a note to trim down if desired...hope that's o.k.
oh, that blocks is gorgeous! i love that last table runner too, it would be great for the holidays!
I'm loving the ideas and was actually thinking of a tablerunner and placements for mine....will have to wait and see when I get them:) This has been so much fun and I'm getting close to sending out my blocks!!! Thanks again for hosting this swap.
Great inspirations! I've just send out 7 envelopes out this morning. One charity block will also reach you hopefully by next 7 or less days.
