PLEASE JOIN ME IN MY SCRAP BIN DIVING!

So as I stated in one of the post below, I wanted to do something that was quick and didn't want to really start anything new...

so join me in my scrap bin diving!

Fabrics left over from Candy Cane Lane

I had wanted to make this one a king size quilt for the blog hop in January but ran out of the yellow Island Batik Fabric and could not find any of it online at all, just my luck!

So I made a second quilt since I had made all of these curves from the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful.

So here comes the extra projects from my scrap bin diving

I just finished this small quilt 49 1/2" x 49 1/2". I had several checker board blocks, so I just added them together. I had fussy cut the quilt bove to get the reindeer just right so I had some fussy cut strips left over so I just used them here. Since they were left over scraps from the fussy cut the reindeer just don't quite line up which gives the illusion of a wonky quilt.

What to do with all of the extra curved pieces????? I decided to just blanket stitch them together, I guess I could have sewn them together and have gotten the same thing. Added the reindeer and there you have it. Love the curved ends.

Here is a table runner with more curved blocks, trust me, this runner looks way better in person than here.

There projects were so fun and it certainly emptied my scrap bin of some unfinished blocks. I still have curved blocks left, if you are reading them and want them, I would be happy to send them to you. I think there are around 24 left. That being said, I have just about used up all of the fabric line of Candy Cane Lane.

Did it make a dent in my scraps? NOOOOOOO but it was oh so fun!

I had almost purchased this book on Amazon but lucky for me my Sister Jeanette sent me this book for my birthday. YEA ME!!

Love this flower block! Loved making it.

Love this Bee hive, someone on instagram said it looked like stairs but I didn't ask for her critique but I love this anyways.

Boot

Crossstitch block

Pumpkin

Pie and oven mitts

I just love this book, you have the option of 6" or 12 " blocks or both, also I love that you can make this quilt anyway you want.

DO YOU EVER JUST HAVE A HANKERING TO DO A FUN FAST PROJECT?

Last night I got a hankering to do a small project.

So I went to my Island Batik tub and started digging.

Fabric Line is Island Batik Candy Cane Lane

I had left over squares from this quilt.

12 1/2 " x 36"

Put them together and here you have it.

Now when I tell that this picture does not do the little runner justice you will just have to take my word on it.

I used the Quick Curved ruler to make the curved pieces. You can go here for the original quilt

I got a call from my cousin who wanted 20 of these microwave bowls.

I made 30 so she could have an option am I crazy or what?

I WANT TO FLY WHERE THE REINDEER FLY!

I want to fly where the Reindeer Fly.
Over mountains, hills, valleys, and skies.

I want to see what the Reindeer See.
Vast oceans, canyons, pyramids,
and Seas.

I want to hear what the Reindeer hear,
The silence of the night,
tinkling of the bells,
Up Up and away we go!

I have had these quilts done for a while and it has been so hard not to show them especially at Christmas.

What wonderful Border fabrics.

Using the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful

My plans were to make a king size quilt but sometimes things do not go as planned.

Wonderful Aurifil Thread, as you can see this color is my favorite. I have gone through a bigger spool and several smaller ones. I truly do love Aurifil, I have purchased some from Missouri Star Quilt co.

Accuquilt Go reindeer die

Make up this awesome quilt!

I call it "Where the Reindeer Fly"

94 x 94

Then because my plans got foiled, I made this second quilt.

54 x 64

Makes a nice throw for sure.

The colors show up better in the second quilt.

Got in another pickle and well....as you can see above, I used the Accuquilt go heart die to fix my one problem. Which made an amazing border.

Now it is time to snuggle down with some cookies, cocoa, and my Kindle light.

What better way to fly where the reindeer fly than in the imagination.
