Today I finally finished cutting out 2 1/2 inch strips for a new quilt. I drew up the plans for this fella a couple of months ago. I knew that I wanted it to be made out of scraps of vintage sheets and be amazing. So far, so good.
First came the scraps.
This stack of beauties came from Jeni. She was having a sale. . . so all six of her rainbow scrap stacks came to live at my house. I'm a sucker for a sale. Especially on fabric. Or yarn.
Then came the cutting.
At first I was keeping things nice and orderly. Cutting one finicky scrap at a time and meticulously folding each strip and placing it on the stack. . .
Then I got bored. The scraps were like "What the heck man? Neat, schmeat, just toss us in!" So I did. I threw caution to the wind and started cutting three at a time and then shamelessly tossing them on the pile.
Even Danger got in on the action.
This is where I'm at so far today.
I can't wait to get these sewn together. I have no idea how exactly this is going to come together but I have faith that it will.
I even have plans for this pile of scrap scraps. Crazy, right?
