Well, my Wednesday Scrap delivery arrived!
Two great big containers of beautiful scraps.
I always love receiving scraps. They are
interesting since they are someone else's
choice and always exciting and much
different than self produced scraps.
Of course I had to dig right in.
I have other bins waiting but the last in
hasn't been explored yet so here we go!
One bin contained lots of lengths of yardage strips.
This quilter uses the length of the yardage for all
her quilt borders, so this pile is wonderful to behold.
A few are actually the same as fabrics I
have! I found some real surprises!
A two toned length cut from a
border print will lend my blue squares lots of interest.
A nice pile of black strips can be trimmed up
for sashing for a 4 patch scrap quilt I have
on the go. It will be similar to this one.
will get added into my growing stack for
a wild weekend of I spy quilts I have been
planning, and oh those strips !
I can string all summer on the wealth of strips
I am pulling out of this box!!
The second bunch of scraps came via
another city from a mutual friend.
(Thank you for being my enabler!)
They decontaminated in her garage
for a month to ensure they were virus
free. There is a cute little zippered rice bag,
stuffed with patterned goodness,
Christmas in March for me! A great birthday month.
The phone rang while I was writing up this post,
and ... more scraps! Of course I accepted the offer
and here is what arrived.
