I'm sewing like a mad woman to use up scraps. i don't think it will ever actually happen....but i am working on it. the last quilt i did i needed 4" scrappy blocks and didn't find much of that size in the boxes, so i think progress is happening.
I plan on going through all the scrap boxes and cut everything down into 3", 2 1/2" and 2" strips. that should help. it won't be so messy.
This top has been sitting in the studio for a while....partly finished. finally buckled down and got it all together. i call it Selvage Framed Squares. those are selvages around the middle squares. it is 88" x 100"
Then i finished piecing this top .... The Plus Side. i saw it in a magazine a few days ago. it got pieced together quickly. i wonder why some get done quickly and others sit for years waiting for me to finish them. this one is 82" x 94"
I've had the black/gray/white fabric for a while and am glad i found a use for it. the print that is around the plus signs is all gone. i still have a bit of the border fabric though.
Just these 2 tops got 10.5 yards of fabric out of the stash. baby steps
Now i am cutting out black and white prints for the next top. i saw a photo somewhere online and decided i HAD to make it. hahahah
Stay tuned
