My DH and I are taking a little "time out" at our family cabin on Hood Canal. The cabin is small so I tend to pick sewing projects that can be contained. Out came the scrap bag that I worked from last Summer. Still lots of fun stuff in there. This time I chose my favorite scrap strategy; sewing patches to strips and then sewing those to more strips etc. You can find a full demo. at this old post.
It's a lot of fun and a real stress free kind of sewing. It does not require any accurate piecing until the final square-up which suits me in these anxious times!
These blocks finish at 6". I will need about 64 framed with 1.5" sashing to make a decent sized bed quilt.
I've got plenty of scraps and lots of time so....Sew on!
I have about 25 finished a lots more about half done.
My day started with this beautiful tranquil view:
I wish everyone Peace!
Take Care,

Such a gorgeous and tranquil view. Love all those scraps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteEnjoy your retreat and your scrappy sewing, Claire!
ReplyDelete(I’m curious about that cutting mat.)
Thanks Sandy! I got that mat at a second hand store in Shelton Wa. It's kind of a hard plastic. But it's in good shape. I know the colors a bit much but ya can't misplace it?! cheers!
