I haven't been doing any teaching since I started Many Hands and Many Hearts but sometimes, I still get to see a finish that I inspired.
About 10 years ago, I taught a scrappy class here in Eugene. I called it Bit by Bit and it was choosing colors and then sewing slab blocks in all sorts of sizes. At the end you sewed the big slabs into a quilt top. Chris recently finished her quilt top and donated it to MHMH and we were able to quilt it and get it finished.
It is so much fun to see what student make - even if it did take them a decade.
Don't let this back fool you. Four of those strips are actually all one fabric. I just added the turquoise to bring in the turquoise from the front. I think Wanda did the beautiful quilting on it.
I love this method of scrap sewing - just grabbing bits and mindlessly sewing them together. One of these days I hope to get another opportunity to sew like that...

I am working on slab at the moment because I needed a break from all the math sewing up backing requires. You might be inspired by the top on my blog today. It's a scrappy but easy one. Enjoy! ;^)
I love that kind of sewing, too - and the results are so fun to see! That made a nice finish for MHMH. Have a wonderful Sunday, Cyndy!
What a great finish! Seeing student work is fun! That backing fabric is sure interesting and unusual; but, perfect for this application!
It's a very colorful quilt. Looks it was a very useful class for making the most of your scraps.
Such a clever quilt--the front and the back, both!
How fun to see what you inspired!
Never too late to finish a beautiful quilt.
So many fun fabrics represented in that quilt!
Cute quilt! Happy 4th! Laura
