I need to declare a project I want to finish in Feb for
So, my goal is to finish (quilt and bind) my scrappy Pink Fluff quilt I sewed up from all my pink scraps during the Jan Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 - another donation quilt for Wrap-a-Smile.
Here's the Pink Fluff flimsy 42 x 54
Lots of fun fabric scraps went into this top.
I spy a bee, a cherry, a cupcake, some broccoli, paperclips, candy canes, grapes, a present and an eye. Who could believe so much could be contained in a tiny scrap? These were corners cut off another I Spy Snowball quilt I made one of my granddaughters about 5 years ago or so. I think each of these little hourglass squares is less than 2 inches.
There are no quilt police here...I've found the perfect 100% cotton hot pink backing in my sheet stash and there will probably be enough left over for binding.
Love that pretty pink quilt top! I do this with my scraps of batting too :)
ReplyDeleteOh I think I already told you I love the big on. But I love the eye spy. I don't think I have seen one with geese blocks. Love it too. I might have to try that. Great idea because you can use such smaller pieces and make more quilts! Yea. I don't normally use sheets for backings but I do piece my batting and buy the biggest I can too. And, my machine is a plain Jane too. I am currently using a Singer and she quilts good enough for me. I have a sick Bernina that quilts like a dream. Hopefully she'll get a hospital visit soon! Happy stitching. I think I am following. At least I know I get your emails but I'll be a follower too. Look for my Blue Slippers.

Looks like a great one for a Lovely Finish in February. It's wonderful what you can make from leftovers!
