I decided to try and squeak out one more scrap quilt before the end of the year. I can start and finish a lap quilt in under two weeks...Right?
So with hands on hips, I looked around my sewing room for inspiration. I saw my bin of Kaffe Fassett scraps hiding under my cutting table and decided to start there. My first task was to sort my scraps into warm and cool colors.
Oh boy...there are probably at least three quilts here!
I decided to start with the warm colors. Most of the scraps were narrow strips so I decided to chop them up into 4.5" widths. I didn't worry too much about the height. I just made sure it was straight.
Then I started sewing them into strips. I also tracked down a background fabric. I think I am going to use this soft orange I ordered from Connecting Threads. I have a two yard cut so that should be more than enough.
Now I just need to find some time to sew....

Yes you can!! I love your piles sorted...neatly! If you can be inspired by that then you need to call it a year. I'm confident that you will have something to show in a very short time!
Of course you can make one more scrap quilt this year, because you're just that amazing! This one is going to be really pretty! Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Yes, you can squeeze out another scrap quilt before year end especially since you are off to a great start with those beautiful scraps. And we must be on the same wave length because I was sorting through strings yesterday.
If anyone can, you can! Love what you've got so far!
my heart went pitty pat just looking at that big bin of kaffe scraps...
Great start, I can see a bright and scrap beautiful quilt with them.
Have a wonderful week Cynthia!
I can’t wait to see what this quilt is going to grow up to be. Love Kaffe Fassett!
