Last time I showed you the back of a quilt, here is the template I used to get my triangles lined up...thanks for the math dear hubby!
So this nice stack of 13" tops became......
....flying geese anyone?:) Or how about flying geese flowers? Just thought the centers looked a little lonely.

Or how about doing strips and triangles?
These strips became...
....this quilt....
I ran out of time...and desire...but I had a few more ideas so I just drew them up on Paint.
Here is an idea shown in the four quadrants.
This is a checkerboard. You can just place your scraps in a checkerboard pattern or even sew different top fabrics together to make a checkerboard and then put the scraps on one or the other fabric. Of course each square can be scrappy or one kind of fabric...I just didn't have time to put different colored little scrap squares in each bigger square....guess they are more rectangular but you get the idea!
Or how about a radiating sun?!:) Yes, you can do this AND you can cut out circles!! My sun is a bit lopsided!
Last but not least a little wall hanging....
Woohoo...you like grey???? what a shock!
ReplyDeleteI love them all...if I didn't know you better, I'd suggest you're very creative...lol
Don't forget to come to work tomorrow!!
