Sew Sunshine

I am once again participating in Hands2Help comfort quilt challenge. This year Mari @  Academic Quilter  is hosting. You can find out more information by clicking on the link above.   I chose the  Little Lambs  Foundation for Kids again.  I am also working on several comfort quilts for my local  Quilts for Kids .  So far I am working on an idea for a scrappy quilt. I am using bright or solid 6.5" squares I cut out of a box of scrapped FQ's. I have just enough to make the quilt using my randomly sewn together scrap strips.  I think this is going to work and be fun!! I made a couple sample blocks and love the wonky mix mash of strips. We shall see. In other progress lately, I worked on a Kawandi quilt. This is handmade quilt starting from the outside in. I did not use batting in mine as I was not sure how it was going to work. I turned under the edges of the top most pieces and stitched it all down with big stitch.  I really liked the process but ended with a bit of extra fabric

I am super excited to be working on more scraps this month. I am joining in with Tea & Brie on IG for #sewthescrapoutofmarch  HERE I have already been working on organizing and cleaning up some of my bags and bags of various scraps. I made two scrap quilts already this year which you can see  HERE  for "Getting Beachy"  and  HERE  for "Scrappydo" First thing I want to tackle this month is my jar and bag of corner bits I cut off when making binding.  I did some sorting last night and found I have bits that are small and then some a little larger. I think I have an idea so I am grabbing the bigger bits first and using some charm pack sized solid fabric to sew these too.  Looks kinda messy now so I hope this idea works. I have 110 solid 5" squares so that means I am using at this point 220 bits ....woohoo! I think that is a start.  I just love seeing the stack of bits go down. I know some of these pieces of fabric have been in 4 or more quilts. It is time for
