but I can only get a few minutes here and there on my machine,

Scrappy Saturday Sewing ~ More Scrappy Irish Chain from Life in the Scrapatch

 


Today was a good day of scrappy sewing. 

All 12 of my Block Bs are done!

Yesterday and today I made good progress on my 


Scrappy Irish Chain Scrap Along @ Coriander Quilts

Although I love all the random scrappy quilts that I am seeing in the 

Coriander Quilts Group on FB



I decided to go with my third plan for the A Block Layout

 which I posted last week in this post: 

Second & Third Scrappy Thoughts.

I really like the controlled scrappy look for this quilt.


This is my first of revised Block A.

I will need to make 12 ...
