Scraps

I love scrap quilts. Before Christmas I did a major inventory of my fabric. Major, people! I purged some older fabrics I knew I would never use (not just some of them-a lot of them), gave a huge amount to the women's prison nearby that was looking for fabric and organized the rest. So what to do? Start a scrap quilt.

Remember these table runners that I talked about here?

It's a simple pattern that uses a lot of scraps. The table runners have 6 inch blocks. Then I remembered that I had the chisel and 3 inch half square triangle dies for my Accuquilt Go cutter. So I gathered lots of dark and medium blues and lots of lights and cut some chisels and triangles.

I've got the light triangles sewn to the dark blues and just need to do the opposite colors.

Here's a test 12 inch block and I think a bunch of these together is going to be great. But all is on hold because my sewing room is under a big re-do which I am very excited over. First up was some storage which I will take some pictures of and post this week. The rest we will probably pick at on weekends so it could take a while for a reveal. My husband is easily distracted and usually takes a while to actually finish a project. But he does good work and it's free labor so you work with what you have!
