I’ve been chilling, waiting to see what Joyful might do about our scrap basket challenge! I only have 12 days until I’m away from my machine till the end of the year. So I’m taking the leap of faith that she will accept my challenge. Anyone else want to join in? Please do. November will be a neutral scrap basket. Your choice of size to fit your allotted space. You pick the technique. There are tutorials out there and there may be one in the making!
I got an early start! Slabs and crumbs and strips and pieces all started to puzzle together. Then frakenbatting happened and a piece left over from a worn and stained holiday table cloth became the backing or inside of the basket!
You can see bits of pink from great granddaughter Miss B’s Welcome quilt, There some black on white that was in a step granddaughter’s college graduation quilt. There’s text fabric and a bit of aboriginal fabric!
I started by dividing the slab into fourths with the large serpentine stitch on my machine using this thread. It’s a variegated ecru/tan. Then stitching “snakey” lines the width of my walking foot!
Of course, I'm OK with you starting on your basket (especially since you are on a time crunch this month!) I've started on mine, too. As usual, you are ahead of me in the Challenge, but I was trying to get some quilts quilted. LOVE that little scrappy zippered pouch, Judy! Great use of some leftover (leftover) bits. :o))
ReplyDeleteThat is a tempting challenge, Judy! I was just sorting some neutral scraps the other day and "wondering" what to do with them. :) I also have neutral string blocks to work on. Lots of choices to work on this month! I love your little zipper pouch, too!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job on the challenge, including the bonus pouch! Bravo!
