As I mentioned in yesturday's post, I took the last picture to show everyone that I am not the only one who thought of using my strings to make crayons for a quilt. This is my crayon quilt. This is a NICU quilt which measures 25" square. I enjoyed making this quilt so much, that I plan on making another one in this size with green, blue, orange and purple. I want to make a larger toddler size quilt.
This one is in different shades of blue, purple and green. The majority of this quilt fabric came from a friend, who finished her quilt and gave me her scraps. The scraps were already somewhat in the size of strips I needed. It worked out well and took me almost no time at all to piece together.
I have to say that there is a theme going on here. Can you tell what it is? Lol. This quilt and the ones above, all come from peoples left over scraps. I felt it my job to show people just how pretty a quilt can be, even if you are using your scraps. I think these three are all pretty.
This quilt above uses crumbs to make crazy blocks in a rainbow of colours. I make the crazy blocks using all kinds of small colourful pieces and sew them together to make blocks that measure about 6" square. I cut them in four to make smaller blocks of 2.5". I used the white sashing to help make the colours stand out individually. My goal for this one was to see just how many pieces I could use in these small blocks. There are many....lol. One of them has nine visible pieces in a 2" finished square.
I hope you enjoyed these quilts and I hope that maybe some day, you will decide to make a quilt using your own scraps. See how creative you can get to make something that is pretty special and a one of a kind.
Take care everyone. Have a great weekend and don't forget to take some time for yourself.
