USE those scraps!

When I cleaned out the project box

mentioned in #2 of the Realizations post,

this was one of the groupings of scraps I found.

Those strips from sCRUMBtious and Flummadiddle 

were sewn together and prepped for quilting.

I used Glide thread in Pink to stitch

more-or-less diagonal rows of

 multi-sized and echoed swirls -

my take on Dwirling by the Pajama Quilter.

I backed the piece with this gorgeous floral.

Here is it laying on one of our back porch tables

to show the colors and texture with different lighting.

Ditto for the back side.

Finished piece measures 12.5" x 12.5"

And then there were scrappy bits

from making Someday is Now.

(which is still a flimsy waiting to be quilted)

I quilted it using Leah Day's crazy weave design

and Glide thread in Aquamarine.

I backed it with a piece of this hard-to-use Yuwa fabric.

Again - what a difference lighting makes.

Finished piece measures 10.5" x 11.75"

Both of these minis/table mats used 

scraps and partially-wound bobbins from previous projects,

leftover lengths of binding,

and frankenbatting cobbled together 

from random batting scraps.

Less to store and more to enjoy.

There are four other pieces under construction

using scraps from that project box.

I'll be sharing them later in the week.
