Starry Scraps

I finally finished! This is a scrap project made almost entirely out of scraps leftover from the Disappearing Nine-Patch I made for my friend's wedding. It started out in March as an experiment in strip piecing. Then it sat around awhile while I decided on a design for the back.


The only non-scrap part is the light blue backing; however, I originally purchased it for a different project, so I didn't have to buy anything in order to complete it. I looove the stars that I quilted into it! It did require a lot of turning, but it was worth it for such a small project.


Finished size: 23"x30"

More Strips

Today I decided to finish up the strip piecing blocks I had started a couple weeks ago. I was pleased that I was able to get eight more blocks out of the remaining strips. These, however, did not come out as square as the first set, so they all had to get chopped down a quarter inch. Since I don't have a plan in mind, it won't ruin the dimensions of the final project.

Strip Piecing

Yesterday's project was strip piecing. Thanks to the quilt I made for Amanda, I had strips of several blue fabrics no more than 2.5 inches wide. I pieced them on parchment paper. My original intent was to make a block for my Quilt Block Project, but since I still have a few strips left, I am going to see how many blocks I can make and come up with a new project.
