Working with scraps. What can I make??
Well I do need a baby quilt for a close friend. They are expecting a new grand baby.
Into my scraps I go. I found a bag of leftover pieces from a previously made baby quilt. Some strips were already joined.
Cut some more pieces, join some more and then trim to the same size.
Add some sashings. I didn’t have enough for complete strips so I added cornerstones. Some even had to be pieced. The cornerstones were only 2” cut. I got there.
Start sewing together. I used the webbing method so I didn’t get the blocks mixed up or turned upside down.
I looked for a backing and wadding. I had a scrap piece of wadding the exact width I needed. I found this pretty green fabric. It too was the exact width but not length.
That’s okay. I added a strip of white across it.
I’ve had enough for today so I’ll get back to it soon. That was a lot of brain power.
Linking up with Soscrappy.

Such a pretty range of scraps you found to make into a lovely baby quilt. Perfect backing too!
Qué bien que tenías tantos retales infantiles, te ha salido un bonito diseño. BESICOS.
A very efficient project. Looking good.
Beautiful Jo.
Excellent job of working with what you had for a great result!
Lovely fabrics for a special project.
That is a bonus when you can make it out of scraps that you already have. Lovely colours.
