To alleviate some of my multiplying scraps I'm trying out an Anita Goodesign embroidery design for Double Wedding Rings. Takes 1.5 hrs to stitch out as I slow my machine down as it seems to stitch better to me. I'm using muslin for the background as I have a bolt of it, navy fabric and a dark red fabric I bought years ago from Connecting threads and scraps in blues and reds from my bins. I chose the 2nd largest block which comes out at 7.5 when finished. I'm also using up large scraps of batting which I've ran out of so will have to either start quilting to gain more scraps or cut from the bolt. Anyway, I'm liking how the blocks are coming out. I'm only making a lap size quilt to replace one my new kitten ripped up when she was younger......also made from scraps. Need 48 blocks and also usesd the last of the dark red fabric for the binding which I added piping to using the navy fabric. Up to 21 blocks so far and have enough batting for 9 more blocks before I have to start searching for more. Already have another embroidery project that takes batting and has numberous sections to put together once stitched out. So far I've bought only 3 fat qtrs since November 2018 and don't see signs of having to buy more fabric in the near future. Heres a pic of the DWR blocks. I'm also going thru my old brand of thread to use it up too.
