Scrappy Baby Quilts

Yes, indeed, more scrappiness, more economy blocks, more baby quilts.  I have A LOT of scraps I am working on making into something prettier and more useful than a rubbermaid tote full of fabric pieces - however lovely those individual pieces may be.  These are my two latest projects with the scraps!  And they are both for sale in my shop!

Fabric: scraps from a lot of different collections

Thread: Aurifil 50 wt in white

Backing: top one is from the Florence line by Denyse Schmidt, second one is from Riley Blake

Binding: striped print is from Sabine Reinhart for Blend

Batting: Warm & Natural

Dimensions: 30" by 36" each

Completed June 2015

I Spy Baby Quilt

Ok, ok, ok. I said the next economy block quilt I made was not going to be scrappy. But here I am. It looks a lot like the one I just made last week, doesn't it? But I started with 3.5" inch squares in the centre, rather than 4.5" and spent a little more time fussy cutting. I love the littler blocks. I love the American Jane backing and other American Jane fabrics and scraps that I used throughout the quilt. This one finished at 31" by 38" and is for sale in my Etsy shop!

Economy Block Baby Quilt

A little scrappy quilt I just completed. I have to admit, I struggle a bit with scrappy. It may seem like a "quilter's sin" but I do. I like congruous. I like a lot of harmony and I like fabric lines. I like scraps in rainbow arrangements, though! 

 Anyways, I DO like the economy block and you might see this block again here. In matchy, matchy fabrics, haha!  And I DO like this quilt.  I can't resist it's crinkliness and sweetness.  It is a quilt after all, and a quilt means LOVE.
