Well, this is my mindless sewing lately. You all know I made 2 green scrap baskets, and last week an orange one. This week ,in an effort to get caught up on the rainbow colors for 2020, I tackled teal/aqua/turquoise! My crumb blocks were already done. I only had to add a little bit to one slab to make it big enough.

Then I looked for lining fabric. I can’t stand to use fabric I might need sometime for a utilitarian application like lining! I know, I know ! It’s just fabric! I had some small chunks of some Winnie the Pooh fabric left over from this baby quilt.
This was my 2nd Great Grandson's New Baby quilt! |
I’ve used it several other places.

This went to Jack's Basket last year! |
In fact, I gave some away to a friend and she returned the leftovers! So these were the last of it. I pieced and puzzled to get 2 pieces 10.5 x 7.5, and 2 pieces 7.5 x 7.5. I couldn't get the bottom piece. So, I cut 2 bottom pieces, one outside, one inside from a large multi floral.
This is all that is left of it now! 1 2" strip, 2- 2.5" strip, 10 2" squares and some skinny strips that will go into my basket to make a crocheted rug! Whoop Whoop !
I quilted the slab blocks with a serpentine stitch running vertically. I had a scrap piece of fusible batting that had a flaw. It was lapped over and fused by almost 3 inches. When I discovered it in another project, I put it in my scrap stash thinking I’d use it in mug rugs or something. It works here.
So another basket done. And 3 plastic shoe boxes are empty. I still need to make a light blue one and of course there will be a new color for June! So 2 more on the horizon.
I'll link up to Finished or Not Friday and
Can I Get a Whoop Whoop!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy

I've been making them slowly over the past year and a bit, just finished my orange one, so now I have six! They're such fun. Yours is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat sewing studio basket, Judy!!! I enjoyed seeing peeks back at past quilts, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty basket! I love that kind of mindless sewing, too, but have never made the baskets. One day I'll try one!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to use up every little bit of fabric. And, another really cute basket.
ReplyDeleteI just love these baskets, but my scraps would never fit in one, LOL. So I will just enjoy looking at yours;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use up scraps, and I do love that you use every little bit! Beautiful finish!
