and I remembered I had a bag of selvages stuffed away some where in the scrap box....my job for weekend was to make up a 12x12 mini quilt for a swap over at Bumble Beans, to send to my secret partner by 26th November...(yikes now only 4 days away!)
But it's all good, I am almost ready...so I pulled out all those silly little scraps...you know the ones you agonise over whether you keep or throw! Kept the green ones out...and stuffed the rest back into the bag....then I pulled out my selvages...sob...hard to part with...and had some fun...
I built the background with the selvages layering, and stitching them on over the wadding and backing...kind of like quilt as you go! Then I sewed up all the silly little scraps, and made a christmas tree template.....and ta dah...mini quilt...
The tree was fused on with fusible webbing, and zig zagged on...I had so much fun...I made two!
Just the binding to go!
Lucky person who gets this. I asked for Winter, so don't think it will be for me, sadly.
