Traditional economy blocks with the same focus fabric in the center of the blocks, but in different color ways. The focus fabric features a typewriter. One set of blocks are in black, pink and orange. The other set is in green and cream. The blocks are set on a light blue rotary cutting mat, next to a white and grey handled rotary cutter.

First two sets of #economyblocks made for the #RubyStarBlockSwap2024. My plan is to make a set every day through Friday, which will get me to my original commitment of 5 sets.

I visit my aunt this weekend. But when I’m back, I’m hoping to zoom through another 5 sets.

31 pieces of quilting fabric - all from Ruby Star Society - pressed and folded, resting on a silvery-grey ironing mat.

The hard part is done! 😂🤣😂

31 cuts of fabric starched and ironed in preparation for making economy blocks for the #RubyStarBlockSwap2024

I signed up for 5 sets of 10 blocks - my goal is to actually make 10 sets. Since I actually need 11 of each block (1 to keep, 10 to swap), that’s 110 to make.
