As the program lead, I am working hard to create at least 12 new quilts for show and tell. That is a lot of quilts but I have a lot of scraps.
Scraps for me are pieces of random sizes that are left over from other projects. They get new life by going into a new project.
To be eye appealing, the pattern needs to be interesting, colors coordinating or should they just be wild.
Where do I go for ideas? And how do I manage all the projects and scraps?
I use pinterest, the social media platform for sharing ideas?
I have created boards and save other people's work and recreate it with my fabric and twists.
The ideas are flowing but time management if the big challenge.
I have to select the fabric from my tub of scraps, cut to size, sew into blocks, arrange the blocks in a manner that makes me happy and then more sewing.
Next up is the long arm quilting process. Finally, I'll have to add binding to finish the edge of the quilt.
Today I am working on 2.5" squares. The blocks will have a consistent frame added around it to quiet and pizzazz to the quilt.
I need at least 36 of these blocks to make a nice lap size 5' square quilt.
Is it doable? Time will tell.
Happy quilting.
