Mini Dump and Sew!

Here's a mini dump and sew project.

It began during Granddaughter's nap time...

and ended this afternoon after she went home.

;)

First...

I found one of the MANY bags of scraps

that reside at my house.

I DO have scraps that are ORGANIZED.

These AREN'T!!!

:0

I dumped.

I goofed around pulling out some things....

Hmmm....

What colors will I use??

Took that bright green out and added some yellow.

Much better.

This layout was JUST inspiration.

The pieces DID NOT have to end up in this exact position.

That would take TOO much planning!

I began.

A red square next to a turquoise piece.

I pressed it open.

I cut the end off.

Remember...

My goal is do as LITTLE cutting as possible.

I found a stripe that fit PERFECTLY.

I'm amazed how OFTEN this happens!!!

See???

Another piece that's the perfect FIT!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

Someone WOKE up!

I took a BREAK

and we did a little swinging.

;)

When I was done with piecing my 9" potholders.....

I used an old towel for batting.

Quilted a few RED lines.....

Added the binding....

Here's the backing fabric.

Then.....I wondered.....

Do I CLEAN up this mess....

OR.....

dive IN and make another

DUMP and SEW project???

I hope YOU are making something

using a METHOD like this!!!

The linky party to share will begin

MONDAY, September 10

and end...

FRIDAY, September 15.

LOTS of time to

DUMP and SEW!!!
