In the last month I finished my scrappy log cabin quilt:
I then had a bit of a tidy up of my stash and discovered that for some reason had been storing large (smaller than a fat eighth) scraps in there! I transferred these to my scraps boxes which means that they are just as full as before I started the scrappy log cabin!
I was stitching the binding on the log cabin quit while having a stitchy morning with a friend, she’s not wasn’t a quilter but decided she wanted to make one. So the following week I took a box of ready cut scraps and showed her how to make the block and started a few more of my own!
I must admit I am debating whether or not to donate these to her cause or continue making it myself!
I started another scrappy project last week when another friend wanted to learn paper piecing. After I’d gone through the basics and got her started on a Lone Starburst I pulled scraps and made my first outhouse:
She was a great student but I know I wasn’t concentrating properly as the door was supposed to be the same colour as the roof but I’m not unpicking. This is a great pattern for scraps, expect to see more!
Linking up with Nicky and Leanne:
I think you might just have tempted me into two more projects Mary! Naughty you but brilliant you also for such lovely makes and thanks for joining us at #scraptastictuesday
I love your quilt… such a happy mix of fabrics. And that is the cutest outhouse I’ve ever seen!
Your log cabin quilt is not only fun and a great scrap buster…it’s a beauty too!
The world needs more scrappy outhouse quilts!!
Loving your scrappy log cabins as well!
come to think of it… there were 21 outhouses in my old neighborhood… maybe I should join you in making scrappy outhouses!! An Alaska theme!
XX!
Your quilt is just gorgeous! So striking.:)
I love your scrappy log cabin. I hope I can have enough scraps to make one some day!
What delightful scraps! Love the log cabins and especially the outhouse. The narrow roofline is super. Thanks for the eye candy and inspiration.
I think scraps breed while we’re asleep…
Please hide the photos on this post so that Nicky can’t come back and look at them – the last thing she needs is ideas for new projects ;o)
Your log cabin is great… however that little house is fantastic!
