Awhile ago, some one mentioned that Fabric sheets were flammable and not to use them for baby quilts???????
Anyone remember seeing this on a board????? |
I'm not sure how this works with the batting, dies someone have a tut that qould show how to get started? :roll:
|
Oh my gosh...........this is just right up my alley so to speak. I have to start with this first and see what comes out of it. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. This is going to make me think outside of my comfort zone... I'm kind of anal about symmetry and straight lines. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks! :)

I love these scrappy blocks. I made a quilt for my son like this and it was so much fun. I couldn't stop making the blocks. I would say "Just ome more and then I'll start dinner... Just one more and then I'll clean up...Just one more and then I'll go to bed!!" Well, you get the idea. It was so much fun because each block was different. I always used a fun picture fabric (like animals, or soccer balls...) for the center and then all different width strips around it. I want to start another one soon.
If you frequent thrift shops and garage sales, you can often find a bolt of inexpensive cotton to use for backing, too. Or sheets will also work nicely. This is a great way to use up scraps! |

A block may have a theme, or common colors, or not. However you do it, have fun. It will go very quickly.
I try to start with a non-rectanglar piece in (sorta) the middle of my foundation. I generally try NOT to have everything I add be a rectangle. |
This sounds like a great idea. I have done one in the past...but have never put a backing on it yet.
What size blocks do you sart with? |
Didn't know there were so many "scrappy" people out there!
I am one too ! |
