Scrap batiks

I have barely made a dent in my scraps.  I have taken a stab at sorting them into plastic shoe boxes and keep finding more.  I have even given a lot of them to beginner quilters for string quilts. 

These batiks are wild!  I had to add some yardage to the mix.

Santa went on vacation to the beach

I love these little beach houses. They are fun.  A 3.5x6.5" flying geese block and 2.5" strips!

Scraps, scraps, scraps Patriotic

They grow and multiple! 

But I am putting them to good use. 

The question is, can I get them finished in time for a big reveal in August 2024? 

This one just needs borders, quilted and bound.

Duckworth Quilt In Progress

The premise is easy: pick a focus color and then go to the color wheel and pick the opposite color and make a wonky 6.5" log cabin.  

I decided on black and white. Some of blacks had big prints and that did work out the best but hey, I'm using up scraps. 

I'll make more of these because they are fast and fun!  There is a bit more information about the process on Podunk Pretties Quilting: Duckworth Quilts - check it out! She has a very pretty orange and blue version on the blog!

It's a snap!

It is a 3 yard quilt that I pieced in July 2020, I think.  I finally finished the quilting in February 2024.  

It will likely be a grandkid's gift. 

Iyla's Dressed to the Nines

This is a favorite baby girl quilt.  I wish I could invent time as I could make them and have on the shelf!  It requires applique and blanke...
