I May Have A Scrap Problem - But Here's a Neat Technique that Helps! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

I have been playing in scraps this week, and I like it! I was looking for ideas for quilt tutorials for this year's series (coming up in a few weeks) and I saw a great pic of a totally scrappy quilt...

I went to the creator's website and verified that she didn't have her own pattern written for the quilt, then opened up EQ8 and did a mock-up of the quilt. Lots and lots of 2.5" squares, which I definitely have, but oh my! The time it would take to sew them all together ...

I May Have A Scrap Problem... But I'm In Therapy! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, I didn't make "scrappy sewing" one of my New Year's Resolutions, but maybe I should have - because I have FINALLY been doing some fun scrappy sewing!

I'm working on the quilts for this year's tutorial series, String Therapy, so I grabbed my blue drawer of strings and a stack of white 5" squares that have been in my scrap drawer F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

This is the block I chose to make. It's from a tutorial by Christina Cameli and wow is it a quick and easy scrap buster ...

KEEPING DOLLY COZY from That's Sew Kerry

Quilted Sleeping Bag

Quilted Sleeping Bag Tutorial:

1.When your baby sister asks Santa for 'blankets for Dolly' you do what you can to help the big guy out! There are several ways this can be done, this is simply the way I made them and thought you may find it useful if you have small people who also want to keep their Dolly warm.

Cutting:

All squares are 2.5 inches the amount you need will vary depending on the dimensions of the doll you are making for. Dolly is 18 inches tall and is similar to the American ...

I May Have A Scrap Problem... No Sewing, But Lots of Inspiration! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

It's been a busy week of sewing, but not much on the scrappy front. However, I did find some fabulous things hidden away on Instagram that I think are share-worthy (and drool-worthy!) so I'll let you see what you think. And away we go!!!

First up is a beautiful 100-days project by Wendy of Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting Life...

And here's another gorgeous plus quilt, this time by Joy (@TheMakingsofJoy). Just a note, I think this is a nine-patch block rather than a true plus block.

This is a beautiful way to use up ...

Isn't this a beauty? I think that it's a Jacob's Ladder variation, and I love the contrast of the darks and lights!

This is such a great way to use up solid scraps, and the small ...

Hi, all!

I hope you all enjoyed visiting Christina's blog last week - wasn't her tutorial fabulous? I'm looking forward to making one of my own someday, if and when things ever slow down around here...

How's this for a little low volume love? I wish I had such a nice variety of low volumes in my stash!
