From Some Odd Bits of Fabric

When a friend recently brought me some leftover fabrics that I ended up making my Bollywood quilt out of, tucked in the bottom of the bag was also a colorful panel.  Rather than put it in the scrap bin, I decided to sew it up into a couple quick projects.

First, there was a long and narrow section that ran along the selvage.  It was an easy finish to add a lovely border and quilt some straight lines. 

 A pretty print for the back and a navy Kona solid for the binding.

It is always good to have these little items around to give as gifts. 

And the colors in this are yummy!

The rest of the fabric panel consisted of a fun square design. 

Once again, I felt a simple border was all it needed.

The print for this one wasn't quite big enough so I had to use a little more of the Kona Navy.

 Another great piece waiting for gifting.....or keeping.  Hmmm...

I am not usually a fan of fabric panels but this one has great colors and a really pretty design.  I couldn't resist turning it into a finish.

Yo Yo Quilt

I have been needing to do a bit of repair on a quilt I finished years ago and I was finally motivated to get it done thanks to Val.  Every Tuesday over at Val's Quilting Studio, you can share posts based on a pre-determined theme - this week is Yo Yo Quilts so the timing to get these repairs done was perfect.

I made this quilt a little over 10 years ago. When my grandmother passed, I found a few bags of fabric scraps in her belongings and decided to use some of them in a yo yo quilt.  I decided to use different colors to create a pattern. And I really love the points around the outside border.

The quilt hangs over the foot board of my lodge pole pine bed as it is a bit delicate. About every two years, I need to fix a few of the yo yos or restitch a few of the connecting stitches.  I have always loved seeing vintage yo yo quilts and really wanted one of my own. I do love seeing it every day but if asked to make another one, I am sure I can come up with a number of excuses as to why that is not happening!

I hope all of you in the US have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with friends, family and good food. 

 

And if you are a Black Friday shopper and love good deals, I should let you know about some great ones on Craftsy.  They have all of their classes on sale.  And right now I am not sure you can beat their pricing on Kona Solids and Aurifil threads.  This is a great time to load up on those necessary basics!

I myself am picking up a few more quilt kits and quilt backs at ridiculously low prices!
