SCRAPS OR NON SCRAPS THAT IS THE QUESTION?

Yesterday I told you that I would show picture of the items I made with my mother's and sister's scraps....so here goes...

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

The 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.

WHAT A FUN PRODUCTIVE DAY!!

Last night after supper, I sandwiched this quilt and quilted it. Just finished binding it.

I wanted to show you what I did with my little candy cane topper. It is starting to look festive in our home. No tree yet.


I had a friend come over today, while she prepped her a candy cane topper, I got all the bindings ready and sewn on the next three toppers and a runner (will show later)

Trust me, the above toppers look so much better in person.

What a great day! Wonderful finishes, one pulled out of that endless UFO pile.....and an awesome friend to keep me company. Hope all of you had an awesome day as well....

I do think it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!
