1008, that's how many 2.5" scrap squares are in this little quilt! Every time I start to think my scraps are running low it's like that jar of flour in the Bible story-- they never run out!
This is another Covered in Love quilt. I am going to piece together a tri-color backing for it and then it will go in the pile to be basted. Meanwhile, I realized I had enough flannel scraps to make an all-flannel scrap quilt, so I've been cutting those up.
I decided my largest squares would be 8.5", so I am also cutting 4.5" and 2.5" squares, whatever is the largest size I can get from that particular scrap. Soon to be assembled!

ReplyDeleteNice work on your scrap project!! Yes wouldn't cha think that we would run out of scraps but nope it doesn't happen!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a great use of scraps and oh, so pretty and for a good cause, I see. Where is the East TX medical center located? (I guess if I wasn't so lazy I could google it).
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of flannel scraps I need to cut up too. i can pretty much guarantee mine will have big pieces! Thanks for sharing your lovely scrap quilt with Oh Scrap!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what binding you will choose!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a heap of little squares... and all looking lovely together! I too am wondering about your binding decision, purple/green/ blue/mixture?
