Sewing with Scraps


This week I pulled out my leftovers from the Honey Honey quilt and sliced them up.  I had mostly strips leftover, some as short as 8.5” inches so that was my starting point.  I cut everything down to 8.5” inches but with varying widths.  I added in about a yard of some Kona White I had in my closet as well. 

Once I had everything cut, I randomly sewed them together into rows, pressed and then sewed the rows together.

This quilt top came together so quickly – mostly out of necessity.  I just don’t have a lot of time right now and this made for a quick finish.  When I do get time to sew I sure am quick - you should see me - I'm like a blur!  Imagine the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes, but with bits of fabric and thread swirling around.

The quilt top measures about 44” x 57”

I have some sweet pink floral flannel for the backing and a bit darker pink print for the binding.  But that will just have to wait.  This quilt will eventually be heading to Project Linus.  Eventually.
