Leftover scrap triangles are a common occurrence in when sewing quilt blocks. They are the result of making any quilt block unit that uses the easy corner triangle method, like flying geese, or more recently around here, the method used to make the Ribbon blocks. If you’ve been sewing along with the Happy Scrappy QAL, […]

It seems fitting to finish this quilt in time for spring. (Well, technically it is spring, although we're expecting a bit of snow tomorrow.) The bright colors of the Anna Maria Horner fabrics are undeniably cheerful and full of life, just like the season, and the low volume prints set them off nicely. I used 50 weight white, Aurifil thread to quilt the top in a free motion figure eight design, which I recommend if you are new to free motion quilting or have a largish quilt to handle on a…

My first finished quilt of 2017 is this Scrappy Triangles Quilt. I took my time on this one and probably enjoyed the fabric layout the most of all the steps in the process. I limited myself to triangles I had cut from my scrap bins. Creating color gradations and a pleasing overall look was quite a challenge under that limitation. At the same time I always love using scraps. Revisiting favorite fabrics and seeing them play with new and unexpected friends in a layout like this is energizing…

I have been digging through my scrap piles pulling every useful piece out, I guess it’s spring cleaning time in my sewing room :)So far I have made three new scrap baby quilts, and I have two more lap size quilts in the works… and I haven’t bought a thing! I thought I would share my process for making unused scraps into useful and simple quilts.

A fresh approach to a triangle quilt! A planned palette and block size gives enough structure for beginning quilters but allows for flexibility and makes a great intro to improv quilting. #improvquilting #quiltpattern

Although this quilt looks complicated - it's really a "two color quilt". One side is text fabric, the other ... scraps! Using the AccuQuilt Half Square 2" Finished Triangle die to cut all the fabrics - it was super fun sewing a HUGE pile of little squares. An alternative method is to rotary cut using a template like this one which I use when I snowball a corner. This blog post explains one way to use the Folded Corner Clipper, along with some video links: HERE. There are 1,980 pieces in the…

It was an intriguing idea. And it helped address the overflowing basket of small scraps of light background fabric. But, I had no idea how much I would love the finish. Very different from my usual…

I'm working on a small project using small scraps. These triangles finish at about 3", give or take. I took this project to my little neighborhood quilting group on Saturday morning. They all know I'm off my rocker now. Or at the very least, living up to my blog name. :) Oh, well. I'm having fun! If you want to make some of these little babies yourself, here's how. You know, because I want to enable you to use your scraps, too. That way I won't look quite as crazy. First, make a pattern of…
