I am loving the whole using my scraps right now. I don't even have a stash like some people out there. I seem to be doing a scrappy and alternating with a brought fabric quilt. It does amazing my how much fabric you have left over from a Non-quilt project and just how far you can stretch the remaining fabric. This is left overs from my new nappy bag. I made a bunting and of course now this. This project will take the left overs. I cut a whole bunch of 2.5 inch strips and started making this. It does seem thought that I may not have enough. So now I am having the dilemma of buying more fabric or changing my pattern. I want to make four of these blocks in this colour way. I am thinking I can easily get two, at a push three but not four at all. Thinking about the fabric I have, I am not sure there would be something that complements it. It would need something vintage looking if I was to do other blocks.
I sort of love how sometimes when you start a project in changes and evolves as you start making it. Sure, it can be super frustrating but what you end up with is sometimes much nicer than you planned.
I had a bit of a nightmare planning this. I had my maths all wrong, everything was facing the wrong way. Lots of thrown out paper.
This type of block has a lot of thrown out paper even without my planning mistakes. But I am having fun making it and I am sort of green by using scraps. I can't even say it is old, re-used paper.
Right back to the sewing, making the most of Adele at kindy and Ryan at school. Have an hour left before school run starts over again.

That looks really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just inherited a box of very small scraps. I may need to make one of your scrappy string quilts. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome block!
