Made a Quick Little Trip Through the Scrap Heap
This thread has nothing to do with composting... LOL. 
After I made the Sailboat quilt from baby clothes, which I posted last weekend, there were lots of lovely polka dotted flannel scraps left over. As I was putting them away, they tempted me into making a quickie quilt.
Eleanor Burns has a great book called Quick Trips and I always wanted try her technique of sewing the strips into loops and ironing the seam allowances in alternating directions to lock them. So I adapted her directions for use with squares (she used rectangles in the book).
Here is my scrappy flannel little Trip Around the World Quilt. It’s a little wonky after washing, but very soft and cuddly because I backed it with minky. It’s quilted with SID in a concentric zigzag pattern around the center, every 3rd ring. It is made with 775 one inch squares. I learned a lot on this little quilt. (Mostly from my mistakes)
