A Little Side Trip

 Just taking a little break from 

the big quilts with some small stuff.

First up on the chore list is the coveralls.

I just need to cut off the bottoms 

worn out from dragging on the ground.

There was just enough fabric left from 

the cutoff to make a small cuff,

with the salvaged fabric, and they're done.

 

Next is a bunch of small quilts.

The Northwest Babies gives out

any size quilts for stroller use, 

 so it's a good spot for all my bits of quilts 

that just need some zhuzhing up 

to be turned into lovely little treasures.


First up is this little nine-patch. 

It will get a sawtooth border from 

triangles that were gifted with it. 

 An extra block will be deconstructed 

to make hourglass cornerstones.

Tada! It was a bit more work than I bargained for, 

but it turned out very well.



I managed to pull out enough flannel bits that 

all of these little quilts will have 

cozy flannel backs.

Next was this beautiful autumn block that 

was left over from a guild table topper challenge 

a number of years ago. 



I found an absolutely perfect flannel piece in the bin, 

and with an additional border, 

this little quilt will be warm and fuzzy 

for a little person this winter.

The hits keep on coming.

 The Discovery table yielded this big purple star, 

a leftover from my star string quilts two years ago.

I must have had a late night and 

made two purple stars, 

because this one didn't make it into the quilt top.

A cute piece of flannel later and, 


A cozy 31" square cuddle quilt for a stroller!

The little kitties around the outside are adorable. 


This triangular beauty was waiting 

for bigger borders to be turned into a twin.

 I just couldn't resist and it joined the party

 as a wonderful little snuggle quilt 

with cows and pigs on the back.


Only two more to go!

This sweet little four-heart square has been 

wandering around sewing room.


The table yielded a little bundle of strips and, voila.


Four extra stars and one more border,

will make it a perfect size to snuggle up with.

The last one here is a beautiful, very elegant log cabin topper.

I found a soft flannel back for it that should

 make it cuddly and still maintain its elegant look.


Whoops here is another from the discovery table.




This one will be an add-on at the end, 

since it requires a piano key red border 

that isn't quite complete.

It is a snow day here today, 

so I should have lots of time to get all these 

little tops layered and stitched. 


Stay safe and Sew On!

One More Side

 The Rainbow Squares Quilt is almost complete.


Last corners always seem to be a little tense, don't they?

It ended up fitting very well.




Yay!   Here it is all sewn up. 



It certainly used up lots of squares.  The remainder 

be incorporated into the back.  

Now to get busy on the rest of the tops hidden 

on the Discovery table.

Stay safe and sew on.
