Lately I see so many posts filled with pictures of lovely scrap quilts,
that it inspired me to start making one too! A little quilt.
I use the mile a minute technique. You find a great tutorial here. Only I made a small difference. After I sew all the blocks I cut them in half diagonal. Then I rearranged the triangles in to a nice pattern and sew them togheter. It's a fast and simple way of using scraps.
This is what was left on my cutting table! I'm off now, have to cook some dinner. Otherwise my DH thinks I'm on the computer all day!
Very clever way of doing the blocks Corry, they look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have created! The colors are so bright and cheerful. The design is great. Thanks for sharing 'how to do it'.

It is so vibrant. Great work!!!
ReplyDeleteNice scraps! Mile a minute is great and cuting it in triangles gives it more possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrap quilt! That is my favorite style of quilt--the more fabrics the better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little quilt -- and I love that you cut the blocks up and rearranged them!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful little scrap quiilt! Very creative way to set the blocks. I will have to try cutting some in half, too.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks fantastic - can't wait to see the finished product one day.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to finish cooking tea too!
Great idea to chop the blocks up further Corry. They look lovely !
ReplyDeleteGroovy. I'll have to check into that mile a minute tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I am so inspired by every blogger today.
ReplyDeleteThat is great, new way of doing the mile a minute block. I have to try those MAM blocks some day.
ReplyDeleteI like it! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like this idea! I'm going to make a few scrap blocks today, and cut them across -- can't wait to try it!

That is so pretty.I'm hoping to use some scraps up by rag rugging I'll let you know how it goes
ReplyDeleteGreat work! So inspiring to find crafty dutchies...I like staying in touch with my roots (I moved to the other side of the world 2 yrs ago). Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with these! I'll have to try this with some of mine. Goodness knows I still have lots and lots of strips and crumbs to use up. Thanks so much for the super idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Corry - just refound your blog - going back to your post about missing socks I have the theory that sock manufacturers make one of each pair water-biodegradable after 10 washes in the washing machine - that way we just keep buying more and more socks :o)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your scraps! Thanks for the link Corry.
