A new top!
63 x 81
Tickertape Parade?
Streamers?
Twist and Shout?
Ribbons?
I had a bunch of '30s reproduction scraps 5 inches in width left over from making a Churn Dash top back in May.
At around the same time in May I saw Ann (Fret Not Yourself) making quilts with Indian Hatchet blocks and I knew what I wanted to do with my scraps.
There are a variety of tutorials for making a traditional Indian Hatchet block - Quilter's Cache and Generations Quilt Patterns- but I used what I had on hand which was 5 inch scraps and 2.5 inch scraps to make my blocks.
And now the trimmings from the corners of these blocks are being made into little flower baskets. This year I've been trying to use my scraps up as they are generated. I have not always been successful but I'm working on it.

I've got a name for you: Tumblewings.
A touch of frost on the grass for this photo? Great use of the 30's scraps....maybe there will be a couple more flimsies out of my much-reduced 30's stash after all.
Another super colorful scrappy wonder - I really really like this one. It has such a vintage vibe that goes way beyond the reproduction fabrics. Well done!
The hatchet blocks have so many great layout choices, and I love this one! I think Streamers! :)
Oh your 30's hatchet blocks are just so beautiful all together...I really love this...hugs, Julierose
