Scrap quilt 3

The quilt is finished well in advance of the end of October and I am pretty pleased with the outcome. I was able to construct a border out of the scraps as well.

  

Stack and cut squares jacket - complete

 The jacket I wrote about in this post, is finally complete and I am really happy with the final product.

Scrap Quilt 2

I stitched another 13 blocks for a total of 25 - enough for a lap size quilt after sasching and border is added.  There is a total of 20 designs in the set, so only 5 blocks were duplicated, but with the quilt being so busy, it is nearly impossible to see which 5 blocks are similar.

I was originally going to zig zag the blocks together and gift the quilt, but my husband wants the quilt for his Bowls club to use for fundraising.  And he wants sasching and borders added.  Oops.  If I had known that beforehand, I wouldn't have stitched the satin stitch border as it will now be inside the sasching.  But I must say the sasching between the blocks does calm it down considerably. 

After stitching the first 12 blocks, I decided to combine the meandering to the pattern and not do it free hand afterwards, so the blocks is totally finished when it is taken out of the frame.  This meant I had to put the first 12 back in the frame and added it to the finished blocks.  It luckily went smooth with no hiccups.

With all these blocks done, there is a little dent in my scrap stash, so I might continue with another one at a later stage.  This one must be finished by the end of October though.  

Some of the fabric went really far and I was able to use it in all of the blocks to keep a little continuity throughout.  I used a little of the sasching fabric also in the blocks, so the only thing I have to figure out is what to do for a border.  I really enjoyed this and was able to use really small bits and skinny strips which would have had otherwise no use. 

The designs are from Molly Mine and available here.
