Over my Christmas break, I had the flu. I wasn’t feeling well enough to do much of anything, but I did wander up to the studio towards the end of the week. I had a pile of scraps sitting by my sewing table and decided to stitch them together and see what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Image<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

These scraps were left over from the bed quilt I am making for Walt and I. I have talked about the process in a couple of posts, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. They were just little skinny pieces and I wasn’t sure whether to keep them in my scrap boxes or get rid of them. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I decided I wanted to use a variety of colors in each little section of the quilt, so I sorted the small strips by color and then selected one from each color. While I was sewing the pieces together, I tried to be somewhat random about the order of the colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I alternated a black scrap with a color until I sewed enough pieces together that I could cut a 4 inch square out of each section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes my ruler was at a fairly wonky angle to make it fit. But I worked until I had a dozen squares made. I laid them out in an alternating pattern, with the “stripes” going up and down then side to side. A fairly narrow border framed the blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quilting the scraps quilt<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I chose a multicolored thread to quilt the small quilt with. These types of threads can add another layer of interest to a quilt. This spool I had fit the colors of the quilt well. I chose a meandering line, basically a scribble, to quilt the project. I then bound the quilt with the same fabric I had used for the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The quilt measures sixteen inches by thirteen inches. It was a fun little project that didn’t take too much energy when I wasn’t feeling well. Hopefully you enjoyed this little trip to the scraps pile with me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
