At the quilt guild someone was giving away two large bags of scraps.
I couldn’t resist, I brought them home.
This person saves everything, the trimmings from the sides of the quilt, every size of fabric scrap.
I’m good at throwing things out, being a packrat isn’t for me, so it was time to sort through and see what was worth saving.
There is actual yardage here. I understand why she didn’t want this, not my style either. This will be donated to the Valley MQG, every month there is a raffle for a wonderful basket of stuff, this will get put to good use by someone.
Going through the scraps.
Making piles, a lot of this is usable. I am a scrappy quilter, more scraps of reasonable size will be used.
Using my accuquilt, I’m cutting 2.5″ squares.
This is just from this haul. I have a little box full of these squares.
Sewed the squares together. I used others that I already have, problem is they aren’t exactly the same size. But no one will notice in the final project.
It turned into a lovely project bag.
A holiday gift.
Another holiday gift, this time with solids.
