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.

These rows will be added to a brown stash fabric. Applique will be added to the brown sections. The blue is the bias. Some flowers and leaves will be added.

Always the challenge....is there enough brown. A border fabric to surround the whole thing to round out the quilt. Check and see how long this takes. Deadline...30 days.
