When someone offers you scraps.....
TAKE them!!!
This quilt was FREE
and...
it was easy!
A little bag of scraps.
A free afternoon.
For me.... the means.....
FREE entertainment!!!
;)
Here it is BEFORE the border.
Doesn't that bright border fabric make a difference??
There were even a couple of CUTE Prints!!!
Big trucks!
What every little boy dreams about!!!
This is the book that inspires me
EVERY time I open it.
String quilts could keep me busy FOR----EVER!!!
There are SO many possibilities!!!
I'm hoping to quilt this one up in the next week
and donate it to my local quilt guild!
They do a GREAT job of supporting LOCAL agencies...
providing quilts to needy organizations!
What are you donating this week??
There is a linky party here if you'd like to share!
There are so many needs....
Let's CHEER each other on!!!
It's beautiful, Beth - and so smart of you to sew those scraps up instead of sorting them into the scrap bins!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt, Beth! You are so creative. I have seen this book at JoAnns.
ReplyDeleteGreat border, too. Some little boy is going to love this quilt!
It's wonderful. I love Gwen Marsdon. I may have to add that book to my collection.
ReplyDeleteI have that same book and LOVE it. Your quilt looks beautiful and such a great donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun boys quilt. I love that book too, I agree inspiration flows out every time you flip through the pages.

I love the quilt and the border. I'm awed by your speed. It would take me weeks to do that!
ReplyDeletethe border makes all the difference with this one!
ReplyDeleteI am an absolute scrap hound and this is why. You can make such great quilts with the fabric others were throwing away.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely quilt & the border is perfect.
I am sure that the recipient will cherish your gift.

And what a lovely scrappy job you have done! I agree, the border made a lot of difference.
ReplyDeletePerfect use of those strips. And again, the green was just the trick.
