Tales From The Scrap Yard: Warming Up

Uneven Nine Patches
in warm colors
42 x 60

It's a flimsy!

Back on March 24 I received several bags of scraps and I decided to document how many donation quilts I could make from those scraps. I've been trying to make the quilts all different.  I sorted the scraps into different bins and boxes and this is the second one to come from a 14 quart bin of what I considered warm colors.  I only had to add in a few scraps of my own.


This is quilt top #7 made from those March 24 scraps. When finished it will probably be donated to Quilts Beyond Borders.   

Last year 3372 quilts were donated through Quilts Beyond Borders to a variety of initiatives that serve needy people and children. A summary of those initiatives and the number of quilts received may be found on the Quilts Beyond Borders April 30, 2021 blog post.
