Since finishing Indigo Stars (picture to follow), I looked around my sewing room to see what other areas needed work. I had a half a shelf full of flannel trimmings. I like to use flannel on the back of baby and kids' quilts, but always have a few inches left over. I saw a picture of a nice scrappy rail fence quilt, and thought this might work for the flannels.
I began by cutting 2 1/2 inch strips, then into sets of four pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangles. After cutting for a couple of hours, I began matching darker and lighter rectangles, then stitching them into blocks.
Great way to use up your scraps. This is so cheery and cosy. I just may have to do this with my leftover strips. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't is wonderful when you can use scraps and make something so lovely?
