Leaders and Enders, Take Two

 

What a difference placement and fabric choice make! (And, it helps if the assembler pays attention.)

(See the post from April 7 for the before picture. )

This is Carolina Chain by Bonnie Hunter.

This is most likely not the final block placement, just pinning to the design wall as I go.  

The blocks are on point.  While studying the picture it came to me in a vision just how I'll sew the blocks together. 

Start with a 4-patch.

Then  sew the 4 patches together.

That way I don't have to match the seams of so many long, long rows of smallish blocks.

Carolina Chain is from Bonnie Hunter's book, Addicted to Scraps. 
It IS addicting, that is for sure!  I call it the Accidental Quilt because it is what you get using Leaders and Enders while piecing other quilts.  

This will be another Birthday quilt for either August, 2021* or January 2022, I haven't decided. It is so fun and easy, relatively speaking, I just might make two! AND, it certainly does reduce Mt. Scrapmore!**

*For those of you paying attention, yes, I did add another B-day quilt.  My sister, Renee.
**Mt Scrapmore is a term used by Karen of Just Get It Done Quilts,
