One of my favorite things to do is to sew scraps together, I refer to it as mindless sewing and it's a great way to spend these hot days and to get rid of some of my stash. The scraps end up as quilt tops, I switch gears and do some simple quilting and then donate them. Some go to a children's cancer treatment center and others go to a local relief nursery or Project Linus. So my design wall has been busy this week. Here is how it looked at the start of the week.
Then the cyanotype prints on the left came down and up went another in red, white and blue.
I have another pile of scraps in green and beige, but I think I'll make backings and quilt these first.

What a great idea! I love the quilts done with scraps. And as always I am inspired by your hand stitching projects. Thanks for sharing. I don't comment much but I do enjoy your postings.
ReplyDeleteThese scrap pieces are terrific, very "modern quilt" looking. And, ah, all those French knots. Makes me want to get back to hand work.
ReplyDeleteNorma and I had the same take away about your bright scrap quilt - very Modern with the improve piecing floating on a background of white. How generous of you to donate such gorgeous quilts to those in need of comfort. The recipients will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful projects. Your scrappy brights look like what we call crumb quilts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, I love the bright modern scrap quilt. How do you manage to do so many french knots - I always end up in a tangle!
ReplyDeleteI really like the framed scrap squares with white. It is so clean and crisp. It makes me feel like life itself is in order instead of in confusion. It's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteNice donation quilts...sure to bring a smile to someone's face. I have noticed a few stitches doing the dense French knots lately. I love the texture!
