Scrappy Pips

I finished a Sherbet Pips quilt this week and once the binding is attached I will post.  In the meantime, here is a scrappy baby quilt using the trimmings from my backing and some white on white dots I had on hand. Sometimes a simple patchwork is the best.  I have pieced some leftover batting together as well for this quilt.

I was able to find some yardage on Etsy and ordered some pink and white dots from this line for the backing. I also have a stripe of four patches for the backing.   I have the perfect pale pink thread for the quilting. Happy Friday!

And I am so sorry for the crumby photos.  Weather in the Northeast has been gloomy, cloudy and rainy all week.

Scrap busting

I made a quilt for my MIL 3 years ago using 1930's prints and had a ridiculous amount of scrap fabric leftover.  I made 2 lap quilts with some of the scraps and 4 patches.  I still have scraps leftover.  Honestly I'm not a huge fan of 1930's fabrics...not really my color palette so it's not like I can incorporate them into other quilts.

Instead I'm making yet another lap quilt with the scraps.  I did have to purchase 3  prints to balance the colors out.  My Grandma's birthday is in a few weeks so this one is going to her.

Every Last Scrap

I was able to use up almost every last scarp of halloween fabric from my table runners to make my sister a mug rug.  The only fabric I had left was some black polka dot binding that I added on to my scrappy black binding roll and about 1/4 yard of grey spiders that I'll use in some pillowcases next year.  Here is the mug rug I whipped up for my sister.

 I will be hand stitching the binding down while we are snowed in tonight.
