Scrap Quilting

I talked about my next project in my last post along with that wrinkled pile of scrap fabric that was going to be 2 twin sized quilts for my grandson's bunk beds he'll be moving into sometime soon. Well, I have ironed and cut a lot of fabric and somewhat tamed the pile. After making that last quilt which involved a lot of piecing I wanted something easier and here it is. Just 2 blocks-a nine patch and an hour glass. I think this quilt lends itself to many, many scraps which I just happen to have!

In the process of cutting and sewing I got to revisit some of my older fabrics including this cute bumblebee fabric. I know it's a Moda fabric but I don't remember where or when I got it. I've got a few Prairie Paisley's, some Alex Anderson prints, and many orphans from past projects. While I enjoyed my last project, which was a kit, I prefer picking out my own fabrics so this is fun for me. So back to the sewing room. I'll surface eventually.

  1. The little man will love his quilts, especially since his nya-nya made them special for him! Want to come create something out of the scraps at my house?

  9. Very cute! I almost made that same pattern with my prairie paisley but I decided to do something with just a jelly roll and no extra yardage so that ruled it out.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
