scrap attack success!

one day shy of June's halfway point and my scrap attack goal has been met.  the LL Bean tote is now empty and all the muslin scraps have been ironed and cut for future use.

it's been over 2 years since the bottom of this was seen.  now it's ready for something else...hmm large yardage pieces perhaps?  and these are now on hand for future sewing....

during the cutting up process, this arrived in my mailbox and right away i honed in on this pretty blue scrappy quilt....so with lots of blue fabrics and now plenty of precut muslin squares ready, the plan is to kit this up and add it to the list....it's only 12 blocks and all straight seams, like how long can it really take?   designer is annette plog.....and well, it's blue...

i had made this square, also bricks and cornerstones pattern, from plaid scraps thinking about a manly type quilt, but this might get repurposed for a charity tablerunner....remains to be seen since all the cheddar centers are prepped and ready. 

so i guess i am uneducated but since both are the same block, the bricks and cornerstones, then why is the magazine version "designed by" someone....it's just her version i would think and she doesn't hold the copyright on the block but maybe her version of the block/quilt?  regardless, they are both wonderfully scrappy and equally inspiring!
