Next Month I am the featured speaker at a local guild. I have done some speaking and teaching over the years....but it still makes me a little nervous. The topic is "Using Your Scraps and Stash". I love to take the leftovers and make something beautiful. Inspiration usually comes from on-line photos.
Scrap quilts usually begin with choosing a unit and a size. This scrap design began by having leftovers from 2" nine patches. Many of the strips had a useable chunk of fabric left at the end. By connecting the chunks together and picking a size.....1 1/4" x 2" the light and dark sides developed into these units. You can see the brown was added to have them flip flop back and forth.

ReplyDeleteLooking lovely & scrappy! You've got me curious to see more! No pressure here:)
ReplyDeleteEeek, I hate deadlines! The quilt is coming along famously and it will look marvelous in your presentation, even if it is not 100% finished for it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of those scraps. Good luck meeting your deadline and thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt design, with applique, it will be great. It looks like it could be a fall themed quilt, I'll be watching to see how it progresses! You will be great as a speaker, since you know your subject, it will be easy!
ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts and this is shaping up to be a stunner. I'm sure your talk will be interesting and the audience will no doubt appreciate you giving your time.
