Saturdays Scraps

Hallo all! Nice that you are back this week.

Have a few things to show you today, so I'll start with the current "dolly medallion quilt".

 Do you like that name?  I just made it up!

To refresh your memory, here she is so far:

I have found some more of the blue fabric that I have surrounded her with, and I will now add a 3' surround in that same blue - to continue the colour through the quilt.

I am sure it will look good,  so it will be done through this coming week.

I have done some more blocks like this link  X and O blocks.

Mostly this week I have been hand sewing on my Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt that I began last year I think it was!. Now I'm on a roll with it - it's great to sit in the evening now that it is hot and sew the applique blocks together.

So I have been preparing them:

Have all of these cut out and prepared

I make a nice mess, don't I? I can't use my sewing room any more because of the clutter, so now I have moved out onto the patio!

Here is my special Green tea and sweet beans box, with all the blocks already hand sewn - they are packed individually into plastic baggies so I can keep control and not lose anything! 

These are my blocks from the Down Under Block Swap I am a member of, and I am   starting to connect them up using scraps as borders around everything.

I will make some new fabric a la Bumble Beans 15 minutes play and surround all the houses with the strips - it should make a nice bright quilt shouldn't it?

So join in and show us what you are doing scrap wise!
