This is what keeps me away from my DJ, a watercolor bargello, plaid/flannel etc LOL

Some time back, a friend gave me several tubs of material, some cut into different size squares, with a lot of them being 2 1/2 inch squares, a lot of pieces of fabric and other misc. So, I have been busy making tops.
This first one I used the 2 1/2 inch squares and did post the beginning of it, a few weeks back. Here is the completed top, now to batt and back it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]365114[/ATTACH] This next one is made with plaids and flannel squares, most of which came out of the tubs that I received, and will go to my son-in-law for Christmas. It will be backed with a plaid fleece. [ATTACH=CONFIG]365115[/ATTACH] Then, last night, I thought that I should look through the tubs again, just to remind myself what was in them. You know, senior moment thing, and I found 4 blocks of a poinsettia print. I found some dark red fabric with white poinsettias on it and so, I made this top today. All of this fabric came from the friend also. Needless to say, I have barely made a dent in the stash. I did have a little problem, because the original squares were not square. They were 22x23, so I had to keep trimming off, as I added the borders on. But I am happy with the results, and others will be, also, I hope. [ATTACH=CONFIG]365119[/ATTACH] That is the end of my quilt show, and I really need to get them done, because lefsa frying time is quickly approaching, and the family is getting hungry for it. Have a great week everyone. |
Beautiful creations. Amazing what can be done with a box or 2 of odds and ends:)
|
You have done a great job of making art out of your "gift boxes". The are all so pretty.
|
Amazing work!
|
Wonderful use of fabrics from your friend. Off topic, but could you please tell me how to make lefsa? My mother used to make it for us kids and I don't remember how she used to make it.
|
Such beautiful work
|
Each one looks very nice.
|
Just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
Oh my! You have been busy! You have made delightful excellent use of the stash you were given! I love bargellos, so anytime I see one I kick up my heals! Your SIL quilt is soooo manly - he will love it! And what you did with the poinsettias is so lovely! How many more creations will you come up with? Can't wait to see - have fun!
|
love them all, what a great way to use scraps.
|
Nothing is more satisfying than to be able to create something beautiful out of scraps, especially when they were given as a gift! Your quilts are beautiful
|
great creations. you sure did the bargello the hard way - square by square
|
All are gorgeous, I'm sure they will be loved. Wonderful work on them.
|
Very nice choices for your gift stash!!!
|
Great use of scraps! The giver certainly know the right person to give them to.
|
Love them all especially the poinsetta one but what is lefsa??????Recipe??
|
You did well. Those unsquare squares can be a pain. We always have to add or substract. Your quilt was worth the work.

Lefsa is a Norweigan food. The base is made of mashed potatoes, cream, butter and flour. Rolled thinner than a pie crust, and then lightly fried on a large grill, turning like a pancake. My lefsa usually measure 8>10 inches across. To eat it, you spread it with butter and then add what ever you like, such as sugar, any variety, peanut butter, honey, meats, etc. It is like a bread substitute. It was generally eaten with lutefisk, and I won't go into that. And since I am of Polish descent, learning to make lefsa came after I was married. But now, I have grandchildren who make it with their Moms. I would guess that you could probaby google it, but if you really want to do it, I do have a recipe. And I do share.

Fun creations! Great job!!
