February RSC Recap




First off, there are two more 12.5" blocks
for Dumpster Diving 11 - Mischief Maker.

(you can see my other Dumpster Diving quilts HERE)




I used January's green strata to make eight placemats
for a local guild's Meals on Wheels project.




Some were backed with yardage, one with a fat quarter,
and another with pieced-together leftovers from a quilt back.

All were bound with leftover (or unused) binding.

Quilted with a loose wavy free motion grid.




February's orange scraps yielded two reversible placemats.




Top placemat flipped to the reverse side.




Swapping positions . . . 




. . . and flipping to the reverse once again.

I know these would brighten up my day -
I hope they brighten the day of whoever receives them.

Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

And, for those who are interested,
the second installment about our meeting online
and our ongoing long distance friendship
is on Lynne's blog HERE.
