This is totally from their scraps except for the backing fabric. This is without a doubt the easiest and fasted pattern to make up......(patternspot.com) (used Circle go cutter)
More scraps.....except for the fabric the dogs are on and the backing (needs binding). (used doggie go cutter)
So Class 101 SCRAPS FOR DUMMIES

So Class 101 SCRAPS FOR DUMMIESThe picture you see is what I consider to be scraps....
Found in said mother's and sister scrap bin.....Hummmmmm scraps or non scraps....(scratching my head)....hummmmm I vote for non scraps.
I have been giving them a rash of scraps since I have been digging in their fabric waste and well...to be fair (gotta be fair). My mother has quilts in mind for her grandkids. She has been on a mission and has made 24 tops and quilted all but three so far. You are excused mother dearest from the scraps bash!Now Beverly on the other hand....she feels if she has messed with the fabrics long enough she doesn't want to deal with them again and.....she is mother's helper. They make baby quilts for every relative and friend around here...so I suppose you are excused too but.... They have no time to mess with the scraps...
I JUST LOVE THEIR SCRAPS!!!! SO NO COMPLAINT HERE!!!
Found this fabric and thought of these toppers......
This next one needs some embellishments. Both need binding.
Well...second thought, this is the easiest pattern to make up...nine seams and you have the top done.....quilt and bind...EASieeeee!!There you have the low down on the scrap saga....scrap or non scrap that is the question.
I bet they are thrilled having you around to create such beautiful and useful items.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I say "useable or non-useable"
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy goodness! For me anything is a scrap as long as I say it is.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say your mother and sister's scraps are non-scraps but you sure made some cute things with their "scraps."
ReplyDeletelove the doggie quilt and the topppers. I love scraps, but prepping them slows me down from using them sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we love other people's scraps?? Guess we get tired of looking at our own pile. Your table toppers are tops!!!
ReplyDeleteHeck no -- those are not scraps. That's fabric that would be folded 4" wide and on my shelf!

Oh you clever girl!
ReplyDeleteI know you had fun with those scraps! Lovely projects!
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well with those scraps... it's amazing how far they go...

LOL on scraps & non scraps!!! Love what you made with the non scraps!!
ReplyDeleteI think other people's scraps are always more interesting than your own. My guild even did a scrap exchange one time. Everyone was allowed to bring in a grocery bag of scraps and exchange it for someone else's.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, well up to your old tricks! Do you ever sit still but I guess it runs in the family with all the quilts your mom and sister do. I need you to come and help me get going I have lots of scraps. Does that tempt you>LOL. It must be hard for you to be away from all of your stuff. When do you get to move into new home? Blessings Sandra
ReplyDeleteHi Barb!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pastel flower circle topper! It's adorable!
OM gosh, what beautiful things your ladies have been creating. I can't believe they are from scraps. Of course, I agree with you - much of that beautiful fabric is not scraps, but great stash! Love your Class 101 SCRAPS FOR DUMMIES! Let me know when I can sign up for a class.

You know what they say...one person's trash is another person's treasure. That certainly applies to scraps. I save, and cut, and catalog mine, and then I suspect that one day I'll find them to be useless. But now I know where to send them ;-).
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! I love the doggie quilt! You make the prettiest toppers...
ReplyDeleteI like Gene's idea of usable vs. non-usable! Of course in my book...it can all be used!
ReplyDeleteWow Barb you go girl. If you want to stop over, I will let you go through my scraps! LOL
ReplyDeleteApparently they have some really nice scraps! I love that first topper! :0)
ReplyDeleteWould she consider adopting me? I would not ever complain to her about scraps like those. LOL You are so lucky although I seem to remember you had to work for those scraps. haha
ReplyDeleteYou have made some awesome looking things with them so good for you.
Scraps are my favorite thing, and they multiply in the dark - or in the sunlight, too. Can't seem to keep them from multiplying! Lucky to have other people's scraps to play in, too!
ReplyDeleteI agree with SewCalGal....where do I sign up for the Scraps 101 class? LOL Love all of your projects, and would be tempted to stash some of those pieces, but maybe not. Our go cutters are wonderful tools!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I NEED to get that circle cutter....I just pictured a cute project in my head!! (Muttering...now where is my sketch book?)
I love all of them! I'm hooked on the round tabletoppers since I got your pattern...So easy and quick. I found some fabric in my stash and I'll be working on it this weekend. I'm also going to pull out my circle die and do one of those. So cute! Great job on all of them. You really are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBarb is that last quilt your pattern? I don't remember seeing it before. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI vote for scraps , I love scraps and have plenty to prove it :-) Great projects , you are the queen of making good use of scraps .
