I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection – 9″ squares.
I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.
White color won. Black looks too dramatic and anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy.
I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year boy.
There will be 56 blocks – I am struggling now with 1.5″ white squares.
These are leftovers…
Pepe thinks I shouldn’t throw them to trash!
Tomorrow the top should be done.
I've been working on the little strips trimmed from my latest Dutch Treat blocks too. And I do mean LITTLE. I've saved all of them from the first two DT as well. This time I made blocks with them as I went along so not such a daunting task. Soon I'll have my recyled top pieced too.
Those scraps make wonderful rope baskets.
Pepe looks like my Blackie… :-))) SO CUTE………………
Hi,
I love your creativity.
You can keep the fabrics bits and make a mini quilt with them.
Or you can give them away.
I'm deeply in love and forever with solids!
I agree with Pepe :D, you should put those scraps in "that" special bag 😉
And I'll show you how something beautiful could be born from those…
Waiting to see the special 6 year boy quilt :)make me curious as ever…
Those scraps are beautiful, if nothing else you can do what my friend did….on my birthday she filled a 2 liter bottle with scraps like that and challenged me to make a quilt in 1 year I had to present it. So you can do this for one of your quilting friends. It was a lot of fun.
String them through a wreath for a sprong or summer home decor.
I love pets too
