ScrapBasket Sunday

Wow! This is a record for me .... posting 4 days in a row. That will all change after tomorrow once school resumes.

Last year I had high hopes of working my way through some scrap bundles to link in with Kim and her ScrapBasket Sunday.  Oh my!  I just checked back to see and that was back in April. Sadly I failed at the first hurdle and only participated once, cutting out some tumbler pieces for a tumbler quilt somewhere in my future.  So yesterday I dove in again and turned these 81 x 5" blocks


into 56 joined blocks with 27 to go.


The signature blocks are from an online Siggy Swap I participated in through the 2nd half of 2012 and have been sitting in a tin since. I had the plan for FNSI to start joining them but in my mind they were hexies and I would hand sew them together. So a change of plan and to cut a long story short .... yesterday being Sunday, I spread them out on the bed, played a little with colour and started joining. I'm very happy with the look and think I'll add a simple cream border and binding to finish it off. I have another couple of scrappy type quilts lying around somewhere and looking forward to adding to them too.

Happy Sewing
