I was bound and determined to use up my scraps this summer/fall. Ha! I'm sure you all know that scraps, when stirred, fluff up and multiply! Yep! They're like wire clothes hangers that multiply in the dark. I'm positive.
I was cutting the scraps into strips of various widths and squares of various sizes. They're ready to use. Today I have a log cabin made totally from my scrap basket except for the back and binding. I pulled the strips from the 1.5" strip drawer. Pretty cool! I am now working on a postage stamp quilt using the 2" squares. I am also still cutting up scraps!!! scraps all fluffed up and all over the place!

Scraptacular! The log cabin is gorgeous :)

Love how you selected your scraps to make a dark and light side for each square and the red binding and backing are perfect for the quilt.

Thank you!
I was also going to tell you that when I washed that quilt I tossed in a couple of dye catchers with it. Oh, those babies are worth their weight in gold! Both dye catchers came out RED!! and yet, look at the white on that quilt. Still white. Am I lucky or what! (No, I don't prewash my fabric! No patience for washing,drying and ironing before I can cut and sew!) So, if you have a quilt with fabric that might fade, I really do recommend using the dye magnets! Oh, yes!! |
Beautiful quilt!

I love your method of playing with trash ;)
Some day I'll go through my scraps...some day. :lol: |
Absolutely lovely and inspiring!

What a cheery quilt! Thanks for sharing.
