Triple Treat Leader Ender

Twenty blocks kitted and ready to go

I looked back in my posts to see when I began this project. my inital post was July 31, 2022! Goal number two on my October list was to write an update.

In October of 2022, I shared photos of my project in my recap and goals post. In January of 2023, I shared how it was my leader ender project as I pieced Chilhowie. In August of 2023, I again shared in my recap and goals post to keep making the leader ender blocks. In my September 2023 recap and goals post, I even shared a layout of the blocks.

One block ready to stitch

Earlier this year, I decided to stitch what I had into a top and call it good.  At the beginning of June, I decided to inventory how many blocks I had made 72 with the 73rd ready to stitch. I decided to make more of an effort to make more of these blocks.

After all, I still have some large print fabrics and multi colored fabrics that work well for this block. I spent some time cutting and made more kits. In the future, I'm going to "try" to cut out kits in multiples of four because Bonnie set four blocks together to make a unit. Larger units will be easier to piece in the end. Bonnie is so wise when it comes to putting blocks together!

Block piles

So I'll be cutting lots more pieces and using up lots more scraps!!! I don't have an end date for this project. I'll keep piecing units as I work on other projects. When I make about 200 units, I'll consider a layout. I am a long ways from that number!

Pattern stitching four blocks together

In the meantime, Bonnie released her Four Patch Fun leader ender and Gertie, my inner squirrel, wants to make these blocks. Sigh. . .too many options and not enough time!!!! Linking to Oh Scrap.
