All done and ALL DONE!

 The hearts are here! 

The first ever, entirely pink quilt top is 

now a flimsy !  I got to use my 

currently darlings, wonky stars,

 to compliment the sweet, pieced hearts .

It was a great process!

And now  the little heart quilt top is complete !

The block columns were 

joined with a 2" cut sashing. 

 This quilts finishes at 56'' X 64". 

Each block is 4 1/2" cut. 

The pieced hearts cascade across the top with 

wonky stars to keep them company!  

You may notice that a few of the hearts seem to 

disappear against the white sashing. 

The hearts  show up well in person

 so there is nothing to worry about. 

This little quilt will get a minky or 

similar soft backing for a toddler to enjoy.

Binding Library. Save them but USE them!

 I actually have one!

Many people have mentioned how a

 " binding library " is a great idea and it is !

  I realized recently that I actually have one!   

I carefully place (stuff)  all my partial and 

left over bindings into a space on a shelf!

  Binding library!

It was a huge mess so I measured up

 the widths, and lengths , labeled and here it is! 

 I have to be honest and reveal

 that someone sparked the project

 by giving me binding pieces labelled 

 and folded so I just completed 

the work and it was born! 

 

Oh and I do only keep " significant lengths", 

about 30 inches or what ever 

 feels comfortably long enough to join 

with another piece to make a scrap binding. 

I have even used a few binding right out of the bin! 

 NO NEED to CUT , FOLD or IRON! 

 It was a great feeling. 

Notice in there a box of commercial binding.

 Those get used for tying up gift quilts ,

and binding pot holders or placemats.

 Sometimes, I just cant find a good color

 so they are my backups. 

 Going to the library and just picking out a piece,

 works great for a smaller quilt. 

There are even a few large pieces!  

So start stuffing those significant pieces 

of binding in one spot and

 make your own binding library.

 The little short pieces?

 Stuff those in their size strip drawer!

Sew on and stay safe!
