Oh Scrap! : Floral Scraps

I actually sewed together some scraps this weekend.  

Well, sort of...

Last week we had one of our sew days where people come to help us make blocks.  They were very simple blocks and made from some of our scraps.  

I really wanted to sew something fun and easy.  So I grabbed one of the stacks and sewed together this quilt top.  This one was made from floral scraps with dark backgrounds and sashed with a juicy purple.

This one is just 48 x 48" and should make a nice lap quilt for someone.

Oh Scrap! : Cheddar is Better

 I had lots of plans for todays post but my Saturday got away from me.  So, I thought I would share one of my favorite scrap quilts that have been donated to Many Hands and Many Hearts.

One of my favorite quilt blocks is the bowtie block.  I haven't made one in a while, but it used to be one of my go-to blocks.  Denice made this quilt top.  I usually make larger sized blocks, but hers are a compact six inches - cute and tiny!  

But what really puts this quilt u to the top of my list was she used a cheddar solid for the background.  

I love any quilt with cheddar in it!

It took me a bit to decide how to back this quilt.  I finally chose this blue print sent in by Karen.  It is hard to see but the design on the blue is a faint tan/cheddar color.  It looks amazing!

We sent this off to Gloria to quilt.  I knew she would love it too!

Do you have a favorite block that always sets your heart racing?

Oh Scrap! : More Finishes

 I can't believe it is Sunday already.

All I sewed this week was attaching a few bindings to quilts and a few flannel rectangles into a couple of blocks.  My time was needed elsewhere.  This week we have our big Sew Day!

So All I can share are some completed quilts.  I doubt any of you will mind!

We have been working on quite a few kid quilts.  We have started taking in quilts into Bags of Love.  We help them out at the end of every year as demand grows.

This quilt came to us as a kit all ready for a volunteer to sew into a top.  Charlene has sewn quite a few kits together for us.  She also shows up at our monthly sew day at a local quilt store.  This quilt has an airplane theme, so I had a little fun and included some Snoopy fabric from Amy on the back. 

This one is all about dinosaurs.  These quilts are always a hit.  Kristin sent in this top and backing and Laura finished it up.  I love the blue plaid backing fabric.

Here is a fun little baseball quilt.  I am no longer sure who sent in this quilt top.  I think it was Sharon.  Kat sent us the backing fabric and Cindy quilted it up for us.  She loves the small ones!

This one was finished a long time ago, but I don't think I ever shared it.   Carol sent in this Holly Hobby quilt top and local longarm quilter Wanda finished it up for us.  I sew on a lot of the bindings, but I think Chris finished up this one for us.

Check out this bright, scrappy quilt.  I am guessing Karen used a few of her orphan blocks in this one.  We used two fabrics on the back - they came from Martha and Dusty.  I think Laura quilted and bound this one.

And finally, there is this lovely quilt.  I love the colors in it.  Mina sent in this quilt top, Dusty sent in this amazing purple backing fabric and local quilter Terry finished it up.  This is another one that was finished quite a while ago but wasn't shared.

That is it for today.  There are lots more to come!
