I began this quilt with Victoria's 15 minutes.Scrappy blocks and
square in a square blocks.
I used lots of scraps...
but believe it or not...
I still have some left!!!!
I also used my vintage linen stash!
Yeah! for old sheets!!!
How many 6" blocks did it take to make a twin size quilt?
65 scrappy crazy blocks....and....
65 square in a square blocks!!!130 total!!
I'm glad I didn't figure it out before I began...
I may not have begun....
I didn't even get to the magic twin size with that!!
I was lazy and added a border.
Now the quilt measures 65"x85".
I think that's a respectable twin size.
I like this scrappy quilt.
And since it's a make do kind of quilt...
I made do...
and used some fabric in my stash for the border.
Probably NOT what I would have purchased...
but it works.
I had imagined using one of my bigger vintage sheets
for the border...but what it looked like in my mind....
was NOT very good in real life!!
I'll add this to Amy's sew and tell
and also to the vintage sheet blog.
They are giving away some lovely fabric over there!!!
I have a special place in my heart for scrappy quilts, and I love yours. What fun! So cheerful.

ReplyDeleteThanks, also, for the nice comment. I am in love with PURE by Moda. I want to buy more. It is really great to work with.
I do love scrappy quilts, besides my stash of scraps is growing. Thanks for this lovely idea, I think your quilt is very interesting.
ReplyDeletethis is so great. i love the way the blocks look all together.
ReplyDeleteIt's great, Beth, and the border fabric fits perfectly, planned or not! I have just signed up for the 15 minutes a day blog; hopefully it will get me back in the quilting mode again. Looking at the result of your 15 minutes a day (and then some I guess) makes me inspired to dig into my scrap box for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt...love all your scraps!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. Make do is my favorite kind of quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so pretty! I love that you used fabric you already had. I think the border looks really nice.
