Sew Sunshine

Strippy Scraps quilt. Another all scraps all the way....scrap batting, scrap binding bits and scrap bag bits. I even went to an old machine I don't use often and emptied out most of the bobbins using up thread that was not getting much love.  This quilt was so fun to make just mindlessly sewing scraps of the same size together. I usually make the stripping about 15 to 20 inches wide then trim up. I just plunk the chunks on the wall and fit them together.  So much satisfaction to use these up.  Like I said in yesterday's post about the baby scrap quilts... sometimes you just get tired of some fabrics in your stash and you just want to use them up. So I used up some on the back too! Kind of crazy looking but so is the front. Yay...using my scrap stash....and the journey keeps on going.  Stay tuned for more scrappy things. 48" x 60" 2023 Quilt parade: 2 scrap bag  strip set quilts 2 More  Baby Hexi Quilts  including one giant flower garden QAYG =  Diatom  scrap quilt 1 a

It was a fun experiment and the reason I did it was I had those two in my stash. I thought I had enough to do the extra bonus blocks but I did not. ha A slight draw back from using up your stash but I am still happy to use what I can. I made the top at the end of last year so technically this is also a UFO. yay! Snow then and snow now. Only difference it today the high is in single digits. I made a quick dart out back to get the quilted pic and the back.  (Feb 20th...went out for more pics)Update: Okay so this is more the scene today...so pretty out there in the early morning fog. :) The back was super fun to do. I used up several smaller bits I had in m
