After a prolonged absence from blogging (whoops - sometimes I just need to disappear for a bit!) this scraptastic Tuesday link up really appealed to me. We'll ignore the fact that it's Wednesday, Leanne and Nicky are being kind enough to allow the slow bloggers like me a couple of weeks to catch up!
I love scraps, in fact they are pretty much all I have in terms of fabric, not really having a stash of larger pieces of fabric, I buy what I really really need when I need it (e.g. backing fabric), and somehow or other I seem to accumulate scraps and other fabric that people give me, or I recycle clothes etc.
This Rainbow quilt is I think my largest scrappy make. It was a wedding present for one of my friends who got married in September.
Small scraps are also great for little charity makes - these are 'wiggly bags' sent to Devon for the Olivia Holmes foundation.
And every month I happily use up my scraps making bee blessed blocks. This block was from July. In September I got so carried away that I made 6 blocks using strips of fabric I found in my scrap box - but I forgot to take any photos of them!
Right, I'm off to see what you've all made with your scraps

ReplyDeleteI love scraps best of all and love the look of scrap quilts - they have more fabrics in them after all! All great scrappy projects - keep them coming and blog a bit more maybe ..? Though who am I to talk!? Thanks for linking up to Scraptastic Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow quilt is amazing - makes me want one for my own bed! What a great wedding gift. The blocks are so cute, too - what a great way to use up small scraps.
ReplyDeletebeautiful rainbow - that certainly brightens my grey day! and your bee block - what a great use of scraps and simple to boot! Must remember this one - a quilt made out of it would be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back again! Happy scrappy!
ReplyDeletewelcome back and I'm loving that scrappy quilt! Lots of rainbow goodness in there!
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting about Bee Blessed, I think I only donated blocks once, oops. Love the wedding quilt, it's for my September wedding, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the rainbow quilt. Scraps are much more fun than big fabric!
