Tigger and Scrap Progress

Here is our third cat Tigger. He's not very social and very moody. He's a "big" ole cat.

I have been working on alot of binding on the quilts I have quilted. I still need sewing therapy. Or should I say machine sewing therapy. My bucket of 2.5 wide pieces that are less than 2.5 inches (Left overs from processing fabric) are sewn together into strips.

A strip set will need to be long enough diagonally for the block you are using. I chose 4 inch blocks. I took a white on white fabric, cut into 3.5 squares and cut once on the diagonal. Sew triangles to both sides of strip set. Place square ruler on top of unit and trim.

This unit is now ready to place into your favorite pattern.

Next post I'll show multiple units together. Really makes a cute pattern.
