With bins and bins of scraps, where do I start?  The more I thought about it I came to the conclusion "this is not rocket science".  I am not out to do anything revolutionary; I just need to turn these scraps into decent, usable, and hopefully cute quilts.  I can see a lot of checkerboard, 4 patch, 9 patch, or 16 patch quilts.  Making a lot of blocks and then playing with contrast and color will be the way I plan on approaching this.  I just need to start and not get hung up on results.
These leftover bits and scraps were on top of one of the bins so that is where I am starting.  
I think I will pair up the white and black strips with this pink and aqua fabric.  
I have a lot of small yardage whites, off whites, and grays that will work the other colors.
I also pulled out these squares and strips I had cut from scraps over a year ago.  The squares are 4.5", 3.5" and 2.5".  The strips are mostly 2.5".  Pairing these with white or off white should yield a lot of blocks.  
I think this is enough to keep me busy this weekend!  LOL!!
I did get another package from Amazon.  It is an adapter.  It doesn't fit anything I have.  
That sounds like a great plan!
ReplyDeletebe nice if they would send you a new car!
ReplyDeleteYou wrote exactly what I've been thinking. It's time to deplete my scrap bag again. I waste lots of time trying to plan something unique but this is a good time to look back on the tried and true antique quilts that used leftovers. Good luck to us both.
