Scrap Bag Quilt Top Done

Coming off my design wall is my scrap bag quilt top.  Made mostly from scraps in a bag left over from other baby quilts.

Lots of scraps left - will probably try another one, but different.  Added the dark outside border because without it I felt as if the pieces were trying to explode or fly away.  Got to use strips, triangles, squares and odd pieces. More of a challenge than I expected.  Measures 36" square and is for St. Anne's. Visit my tab above for the linky parties I will be going to.

Some of This and Some of That

Quilted

 Bound

 Ready to wash and deliver to my Guild's Community Service for the local NICU.

These are crumb blocks I made years ago.  I've found that if I make crumb blocks from the scraps of one quilt, they go together much faster.  One off my UFO list - one of the 17UFOs in 2017 I"m working on.  Measure 30" square.

As to the winners of the last two giveaways.  I'm sorry Moira and ledamewood  (Last week's winner - I've sent a message).  It's been a crazy three weeks. So now I'll have a bit of time to make the templates and send (hopefully).  I leave Thursday for a 10 day trip to CO and WA.

I'll be making those templates while I watch Father Brown.

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Design Wall Monday

My wall hasn't changed much, although I have fixed one problem.  Sunday DGS#3 and I did a bit of sewing.  I cut a 6 1/2" square of fusible interfacing (one sided) and handed a pair of scissors and a bag of scraps to him.  He cut and overlapped them all over the square.  Then with a TEFLON sheet, he fused them together.  Then I showed him how to sew a straight line down the piece to further anchor them.

We then cut out two batting squares same size as the top and had him find a fabric for the back.  We cut that two inches bigger.  Going to the ironing board, we folded two opposite sides in half.  Then I had DGS#3 sew them down folded over the sides.  He worked on each part of the process.

We made a pot holder for Mom.  Today he turns 8!
