Fun use for tiny scraps
 
3 Attachment(s)
I recently completed paper piecing a NYB quilt top and was left with a bag of tiny, but oh so pretty scraps of batiks. Along came the opportunity of embellishing a plain purchased jean jacket for my dear grand daughter. I was able to use scraps as little as 1 inch for the prairie points, and the paper pieced button flower used up the skinniest strips.

Credits: Pattern for NYB quilt top is from Judy Niemeyer. The ideas for the jacket are my own, the cushion flower on the back of the jacket is a reduced paper pieced pattern from Radiant New York Beauties book by Valori Wells.

How adorable! You certainly used your scraps to great advantage, your granddaughter is the winner. And.....your NYB is truly a NYB!!!!!

That's cute. One of a kind. Love both the NYB and the jacket.

Your quilt is gorgeous! I admire anyone who does paper piecing. I find it tedious. The little jacket is soooo cute.
