My One Monthly Goal for October was to make a scrap basket using a new to me method,
I had very few crumb blocks leftover from making them in 2018 for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. So I took the bits I had and raided my 1.5” and 2” strip buckets! I lamented in an early October post that I was running out of yellow scraps and would soon have to dig into my bigger chunks!
To the rescue...The Joyful Quilter!
An envelope with many yellow scraps. I knew I would need binding for this technique and I knew I would add a handle. I sorted through the scraps and chose ones for those parts. Then started adding Joy’s scraps to mine to get my slab big enough. With a little help from Joy and her math whiz son, (she sent me the dimensions I needed), I got the puzzle pieces together!
a little rigidity in the bottom, so I cut a piece of cardboard from a box and made a slipcover for it. Like a small pillowcase!
And now it is put to use ! That little goldish scrap with 3 blackbirds is from Joyful, it deserves a special place.
So my OMG is ✅
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
Joy is a peach for sharing! Yellow is kind of scarce in my stash, too. Great slab turned to basket!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely basket. I have to put it on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteI am so wanting to make these colorful scrap baskets. I saved a post with a pattern. I dig and dig and dig some more when looking for certain colors. Just need to figure out how to have the time I want and need for all of the projects that I want to do.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Yellow is uncommon in my stash as well, because I don't buy yellow often. Purple is also scarce, because I use it all up when I purchase. I may need to make some baskets too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish!
ReplyDeleteWell how nice of Joy! Your basket is so bright and cheery. It's been great working with yellow this month hasn't it?
