Hello Quilty Friends! It's time to pick a project from the project cart. I'm in the mood for something quick and easy. That means the top shelf with the mini baskets blocks is out.
The lucky winner is shelf #2, the basket of scraps. This will be the last quilt made with these scraps. I've made 3 other quilts over the years. You can find them here along with the story behind the ugly duckling scraps and the name "End of Chaos". Hopefully a little TLC and creativity will turn them into a beautiful swan...HAHA! That's the real challenge!
The fabrics are very cheap and flimsy making them hard to work with. But I'm up to the challenge and can't wait to finally use the last of them. To keep it quick and easy they will be made into nine patch blocks.
I thought I would be able to make nine patches without needing to rip a few seams, but I was wrong.
Even with ripping seams the nine patches came together quickly. Within an hour, 12 nine patches were on the design wall. As you can see, I'm thinking of setting them on-point.
There are a few scraps left. Maybe they could be used for the backing, binding or quilt label. Only time will tell.

Way to use what you have, all your quilts turn out pretty. I'm look forward to see the order you make from chaos, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what backing fabric you use to fill in the rest of the quilt. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteYou made pretty quick work of the remaining scraps. Hope you find some fun fabrics to play along with the 9 patches.
