Putting scraps to good use

Life is GOOD.....
when there are enough scraps to cover the GUEST bed


AND....
enough left in the scrap basket

To weave a GIFT!!

Yes,
Life is GOOD when there are PLENTY of scraps!!!


Scrap quilt made a few years ago using 2" squares.
It was QUITE an accomplishment for me to
make it QUEEN sized!!
As I was speading it out today...
I thought..
"maybe I could make another???"
Crazy thought!!!!

I made the table runner this week for an upcoming wedding.
I LOVE all the color in this one.
AND...
It goes so nicely with all the spring flowers that are filling my garden beds.

  6. My all time favorite quilt style. Scraps and simple squares! I was just talking to my daughter about doing the same with just red and white scraps. She asked if I was entering a gingham phase? Only from children of a quilter!

    Love your prize!

  12. Beth, I have a carefully hoarded plastic shoebox filled with my 2" squares and yet have none sewn. Please help me to understand how you kept the pattern of diagonal lights running through your quilt. It is beautiful!

  16. The quilt is amazing! I was putting together postage stamps and decided to make a 6 inch, 32 square block onto star centres as I knew I'd never get it done.
    I love the woven runner too.

  20. Loved seeing your weaving. I have just found a small loom that was my mother's. I wonder if I should keep it and give this a try with some of my scraps.
