In my effort to finish up and clear up leftovers, I pulled out some left over blocks from finished quilts. You know there are always a couple, or the triangle trimmings of the ends of strip sets. I never throw them out, but they tend to just fill up space....so...
I sewed together the strip trimmings from "The Ugly Quilt" to make a few more blocks.
I also sewed together some leftover minky from some previous baby quilts. Normally I wouldn't sew smaller bits of this together, but why not? It is still soft and cuddly! And it is a leftover quilt afterall !!
So I tried the same with the leftover bits from the "Impossible Quill" quilt. There really wasn't much left over from that, but it is about 30"x36" , so will be a small stroller quilt, or maybe a car seat canopy. At least it is together and out of the leftover bin!! Win- win!
Unfortunately, I still have a lot more to use up! I might have to get a bit more creative with some of these....I am not sure these colours lend themselves as well to baby quilts! We will see.

I think a lot of us have to do that this years Flo. I went through every piece of fabric just before Christmas...cannot buy any!!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteYou could make a set of placemats, or a couple table runners. I love how you used your leftover bits!!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your scraps.
