9th April, I posted this on my IG feed:
I honestly came back in here to tidy up ... now I'm seeing #fabricscraps #stashbusting2016 for a boy's #siblingstogetherquilts #siblingstogether #quilt 💙 I need help 🙏🏻🤔😂
And so it continued. These 20 X 12.5" 'improv' blocks totally made from blue, black and grey fabric scraps were an absolute joy to make. There was no real rhyme nor reason to how they evolved but I tried not to cut into the scraps too much. So if I picked up a larger piece of fabric than I needed, I put it to one side until it was a perfect fit:
I used my walls and washi tape as a design wall:
... and decided to sash the blocks with red Makower Spraytime adding a friendship star at each joint:
Here it was before quilting:
And all finished - about 55" X 65":
Made two more blocks to accompany the perfect backing fabric I found online (thank you Fabric Guild for posting so quickly)
And last night I finished hand sewing the binding and added the label:
This will be in the post on Monday. I really hope the young boy? who gets this at camp this summer enjoys the 3D 'crazy' quilt I've made him.
A reminder why I, and many others, support this fabulous charity:
Linking up with Amanda Jean @ Crazy Mom Quilts and Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict and the Siblings Together Quilt blog:
Happy weekend X
