Most of this week was spent cleaning up after our Sew Day Fundraiser. It was a challenge, but I was able to find a home for almost everything. We plan on having another Sew Day next spring, but I think we will make blocks for Veterans. I already pulled a big box of patriotic and RWB scraps to start cutting. You can’t be too prepared!
I did find a bit of time to cut and sew up some flannel scraps that all seemed to work together into a nice little quilt top. I think I cut the rectangles at 6 x 8". I wanted a fourth flannel but all we could find was a small piece of dark teal fleece in the trash bin, so we decided to go ahead and use it.
It feels good to use up all these leftovers!

That is a pretty mix of colors in your flannel quilt! I like the idea of using rectangles like that - it could work for any group of fabrics. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Looks like the trash bin yield just the right amount of teal for your flannel quilt!
You'd never guess those were left overs. We had a donation work day last Monday, that pattern was popular. It makes some really fun quilts.
Love that flannel quilt. I love the colors. I've been going through my scraps trying to clear stuff out but they seem to multiply the next morning.
