Since we are all currently homebound for an undetermined amount of time, I decided to start tackling my quilt fabric scraps. I personally only save scraps of fabric that are about an inch wide or more.
I started cutting my fabric into 2″ squares and 3.5″ squares. If I come across any fabric scraps smaller than 2″ I will just save it for something else.
Here are my pieces so far.
I still have a lot more fabric to cut. But, this will be a project I slowly add to. At least, that is the plan.My plan is to sew the 2″ pieces into 4-square checkerboard style blocks. Then I will sew them together with the larger 3.5″ blocks to create interest and texture.
One thing I am nervous about is the wide variety of fabric patterns and colors. I am hoping I can get a nice balance by carefully arranging them. We will see!It is a scrappy quilt after all… So, I am just going to go with it!
Bye for now.
good idea..I’m not disciplined when it comes to scraps!
Scraps can sure become overwhelming. Especially if you work with a bunch of different fabric colors and designs! I am hoping it all comes together!
