Lots of scrappy quilting going on this month.
First up was this commissioned memory quilt. I ended up with this setting because I could feature the 4 different really light prints as the stars amidst the remaining scraps. This quilt finished out at 54" square. Fabrics in it include poly-cotton solids, corduroys, denims, a knit, and quilting cottons.
Binding for the quilt was made from the larger pieces that were left after cutting the squares for the quilt top.
the backing was made from 3 large width-of-fabric scraps and a long chunk of a 4th fabric to make the needed width.
I do have to admit tho I'm doing my own twist on the pattern because I'm using larger squares to start the blocks off (5" cut) that I had cut years ago while making alphabet themed novelty charm square packs.
I'm currently a little more than half way through getting the blocks for the quilt make.

You've been coming up with some real ScrapHappy beauties, and this one is no exception. A lovely one to end the year on. Let's all hope for a better year on the way, more hopeful, healthy and worry-free.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you can find a parallel of a scriptural story in your own life. Many of us forget to look for those! Your projects look great, and I'm feeling a bit jealous of all you are doing - though it's my own fault I'm not! The Anything Goes blocks look fab.
ReplyDeletelovely blocks there, especially the "everything goes" ^^
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely quilt, I would think they are going to be properly delighted.
