Look at These Bits Now!

 Remember the bundle of random 

on the Discovery Table?

Well, they've all come together nicely, 

and here they are!

First, I sorted them all into like sizes.

I ended up with four or five piles of various widths.

Then I trimmed them down to the largest, nearest size I could get.

Certain sizes are easier to work with, so that's where I went.

It has three central 6" finished columns. 

Here is the first top out of those strips.

I snuck in some 2.5" columns just to add a little interest.

Then finished it off with 3.5" columns.

It finishes up at  60" x  72". 

The black dotted background is perfect for this and

 pulls in all the colors of the strips.

Binding is definitely going to be a bright color, 

possibly even the teal, 

to bring out every teal hint in the columns

There is a pile remaining so 

there is one more top in there.

When I find another great confetti fabric, 

I'll be off to sew! Here are some options!

Stay Safe and Sew On!

Another Little Bits

 More little bit strips, (say that 3 times fast), 

are going into another top.  

The Table of Discovery is providing 

lots of fodder for the design 

portion of the program so more 

little bits are under the needle.

The inventory of the stack of bit strips shows :

1. One 6" column

        2. Some 2.5" columns 

       3. Just two 3" columns

A search of the backing box yeilded

 two pieces of a very unlikely back:

 a medium brown batik fabric.

So here we go!

Laying out the columns and stitching them up. 

First, press , press , press, to get all the 

column seam allowances laying in the same direction.

It really makes the stitching easier and faster!

Here is the final look!

It measures out at  50" X  60"

and should work well for a twin bed, 

It had lots of intereting discoveries 

to be found in all the pieces.

Stay safe and stitch up those bits.
