I needed a project for my Monday sewing with my friends at Dongara Patch . So decided to make blocks from my long scraps into QAYG blocks for my Strippy Challenge .
I continued sewing them for the rest of the week until I had 24 blocks each measuring 12" square.Now I needed something to do for my Friday Night Sew In so I sewed the blocks together. Managed to complete the task by 1am . 
As you can see it is a truely scrappy quilt using up all my odd bits for the backing and binding . Even sewed all my odd bits of wadding together for the blocks. Today was a very hot day so decided to stay inside after my swim and finish the quilt.
What do you think of the result???
I am very happy. Not only have I made somethingfor my "Strippy Challenge" I participated in the "Friday Night Sew In" and completed
a quilt for the OPAM.
It looks great to me..............
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend Dorine
Super scrappy. I'd get lost just looking at all the pretty fabric, and loving how the not pretty become pretty with all the others....I think I need more caffeine that didn't make the most sense probably lol
ReplyDeleteLove your strippy quilt and "killing 2 birds with one stone" idea! I was in the Friday night group also and am going down the list to see what everyone did! Wish I could send you some of our cold weather in Ohio...just to cool you down a little!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great and very clever to kill 'three' birds with one stone. Hope it's cooling down for you. They are predicting hot here in Brisbane tomorrow-so far it's been very pleasant this year.
ReplyDeleteYou did well.. I am off checking out what everyone else has done for the Friday Night Sew-In..

ReplyDeleteHi Mum,
ReplyDeleteLove your work, it is amazing what you can make from scraps. It is in true quilting spirit making something from nothing.
I didn't get to sew quilts for friday night sew-in, just stayed at home and finished costumes. My time must have been spent well for I won first prize for Damien's Saltan outfit. Now I must compete with Cheryl, bring it on!!!!!
Oh I love it. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

That's a speedy new pic on your header. Hang on Pop!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so glad you popped by, as I'm in love with your strippy quilt - this is really inspiring me to get on with a big quilt. Is it hard to put the strips in the middle of each block? I'd love it if mine ended up even a little bit like yours.
ReplyDeleteooh I like your strippy quilt! I need to tackle my scraps and strips soon too.

This is wonderful, I like the idea of using all the leftovers from other projects.
