I worked on the extention. I had some strips left over and quite a lot of odd pieces, there was a basket full of them and so, not wanting to waste, I decided on S&C (scraps and crumps.
I started working on some areas. I say areas because I dont' want blocks, I want the extention to kinda melt together as one piece.
After I had sort of a beginning on three different pieces, and a couple small ones. I started to built on them. I decide on 17 wide by 86 long, the width of the quilt. This piece will look nice on the pillow.
I feel great about using all the left over scraps. This will take a nice chunk out of my Christmas fabrics, after the backing etc, I will have to take a look and see what is left now.....I might have to do another.
And since I don't really care too much about this line of fabric, I will pick a project that I am not familiar with, so if things go into the garbage, it's no love lost lol.....
These are the pieces I made to get an idea of where I was going.
