Last weekend I put together the quilt that I am making with a plain white and Good Fortune jelly roll. The quilt top is complete but I desperately need to go to the store today and pick up some batting and thread or this quilt will go another week without being done. Wish me luck that I will be able to silently slip out of the house this afternoon to make that happen.
I am really happy with how it is coming out and can’t wait to share it when it is completed. I have even been working on quilt pattern to share as well. As much as I enjoy fabric scraps from any project to use for another, it was nice to make a quilt out of two jelly rolls with very little waste. When using pre-cuts I always find it a challenge to use them efficiently so not to have to much of the pre-cuts leftover when I am finished. I also did this when I put together the tutorial for my Vintage Modern Bowtie Quilt for Moda Bake Shop last September. Sometimes it takes a while to work out the quilt math but in the end it is always worth it.
This is what I had leftover in the way of scraps once I put the quilt top together. Basically there was a couple of inches left on each strip once I cut off what I needed for the quilt. Most people probably would have tossed what was left but I just couldn’t seem to do that. So, I pieced the scraps together to make a pillow. Nothing to organized I just randomly sewed the scraps that were left, without cutting them, and added some of the white scraps to the end of each row. It didn’t come out exactly how I envisioned but it will go nicely with the other pillows on my couch.
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you did manage to slip out of the house unnoticed to get some batting :-)
