Oh Scrap! : Orange is Always a Good Choice

 There is no real reason why I made the scrap blocks I did this week except Orange is always a good choice to sew with!

The main focus this last week was to start sewing all the Covered In Love blocks into some quilt tops so I can start quilting them.  So I used these postage stamp blocks for one of my RSC quilts as a leader/ender project.

I now have a total of 21 blocks completed.  I think that is the halfway point on this project.  As I come across a solid I haven't used in any of the finished blocks, I am just cutting it and sewing up the block.

I hope to finish this quilt this Spring so I can donate it to the Hands2Help quilt drive.

Another Chaser Block Finish

 I thought this week I would share another scrap quilt finish I made using my Chaser block pattern.

This version of the pattern uses HSTs and creates a completely different look than previous versions.  I used this quilt to focus on using some of the larger chunks of fabrics in my scrap bin.

It made such a fun rainbow scrap quilt.

Just a reminder of the two previous quilts I made using the same pattern.  Kind of hard to believe that so many different designs can be made with just minor changes to a block.  

And I continue to think of more :)

The Chaser block is one of my Scrap Mixology pattern modules.  This module is 15 pages and includes lots of ways to mix this block design up. 

It is super simple to make and can be modified to use lots of scrap sizes.

All of my Scrap Mixology pattern downloads are available in both my Etsy shop and my Payhip shop.  I look forward to seeing how they inspire you to use your scraps!

A Mini Quilt Show

 Pretty regularly, I receive photos of quilts made using one of my patterns.  I always love to see them and thought I would share a few of them with you today.

Here is a wonderful quilt made from my Wiggle Time pattern.  I love the solid color and the quilting she added that "wiggles" across the quilt..  This lap size pattern takes five fat quarters and some background fabric - you probably have the fabric in your stash!

This quilt was made using my All That Jazz pattern.  After seeing this one, I remembered I have a tub full of neutrals like black and taupe fabrics that would be perfect for this pattern.

Check out these two quilts made from my Spin! pattern.  I even had the pleasure of quilting the orange one.  I think it is the first quilt I have seen in that orange/gray combination...

I like it!

My Summertime Blossoms pattern was used to make this sweet little baby quilt.

And finally, I also received a photo of  this Geese Migration quilt.  The color work is amazing!  I really love to teach this class and I look forward to someday getting back out sewing with new and old friends.  Hopefully that will happen someday soon!

You can buy my patterns from my Etsy shop or from my Payhip store.  

I hope you share photos of what you make...It always makes my day to see them!

I am sorry to hear so many of you are buried in snow right now and many are without power.

Stay home and stay safe!

Oh Scrap! : More Scrap Blocks

 Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

I have been slowly working through more of my scrap blocks for the month of February.  I realized when I was writing this post that I forgot to write about my finish this week.  I guess you will have to wait a bit to see it next Friday.

I had previously made the yellow blocks for my Half Rectangular Triangles (HRTs).  So no progress on this project for February.

I also previously made my postage stamp blocks in yellow.  But when I had my blue and brown scrap bins out, I came across some solid scraps that were large enough to make some of the blocks I need.  Soon enough one brown and four blue blocks were completed and ready to be added to the stack.

Here are all the blocks I have finished to date.  I think I want to make a 6 x 7 block layout so I need to track down more shades of solids.  I definitely need some green and orange.  My plan for this quilt is to donate it for the Hands2Help quilt drive so I will be finishing this one up over the next couple months.

And finally I finished three more of my scrappy blocks for this quilt.  I am making them from 2" strips and trimming the blocks to 12" square.  I think I have seen this block referred to as a Lego block.  It is a great design to use up the odd bits in the scrap bin.

That is it for my scrap quilting this week.  I hope all of you are staying safe and warm.  No snow or ice here but the weather quickly cycles between sunny and gloomy in a matter of minutes.

So Scrappy for RSC21 

In case you missed it, the Fat Quarter Shop is featuring Bella Solids as one of their Basic of the Month for February.  Check it out!

Oh Scrap! : Yellow

 A new month means we have a new Rainbow Scrap Challenge color.  And for February the color yellow was chosen.

I am working on numerous RSC quilts this year so I thought I would start the month out by making my Scrap Mixology blocks.

My yellow scrap bin is not that full right now.  It hasn't been that long since we had this color so not that many scraps have multiplied.  I made my newest interpretation of my Two Bits pattern.

I added them to the pink blocks I made last month.  The colors are much brighter in the actual blocks.  The lighting in my sewingroom is horrible for photos - especially late at night!

My other Scrap Mixology block is Well Suited.  But I already made some yellow blocks when I made my test blocks months ago.  So there is no need to sew any of these up.

Which also means there won't be any more pinwheel blocks added to the pile.  These blocks are made from the bonus triangles left over when making the geese for my Well Suited blocks.  

I still have five more RSC block designs to make for the month so there are still lots of blocks to share in the future.  I have been slowly working on getting them all cut so I can have everything ready to sew when I have more time to sit at my machine.

I'll Count the Finish

 I knew if I put my UFO fabric on my cutting board that something might get done.

I did get my tablecloth sewn for my little kitchenette.  I have a tutorial available for making the mitered corners.  This is the same technique I use for cloth napkins and curtains.

The fabric I used was just a bit small but it will work fine for right now. 

(Obviously I don't use this space because there is always so much stuff on the table.)

Another finish I am celebrating today is I completed the log cabin flimsey.  I found a backing and I am just waiting for time on my longarm to finish it up.  I love how it turned out and I can't wait to share it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh The Goodness!

 There was a giant box of goodness that landed on my doorstep this afternoon...

Kat contacted me to see if I could help out again getting some Covered in Love blocks turned into some quilts.  She remembered I got really bored making a bunch of the same quilts last time so in the box I found enough red, white and blue blocks to make three quilts.

I always love to see all the different star blocks in these quilts so I am excited about getting these put together and petting all the lovely blocks..

There was also a giant stack of a colorful block she calls FiddleSticks.  She said there are enough blocks for two quilts.  So muany scrappy bits in these!

I also received enough of these blocks to make a couple quilts.  I think this block was from her last block drive.

Kat does such a great job getting together all the blocks, backings and even the bindings.  It makes putting them together and quilting them a breeze!

I know many of you participate in these block drives so I will share the quilts as I finish them.  Any preference for which ones you want to see first?

I also thought I would take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Hands2Help donation quilt drive will be coming up soon.  I think signups are in March and I am already planning my quilts.   Covered in Love will be one of the charities where you can donate this year.   Or you can make some blocks for her current block drive.

I use colorful background fabrics all the time for my scrap quilts.  Some of my favorites are available at Connecting Threads.  I just saw they have a great sale on some of their Basics and Blenders.  So many pretty colors are available!
