Tickers Unveiled!! Some ORBC Round 9 Samples!

I know this is what you all have been waiting for....so here they are...some Ticker Tape samples! Some of you may recognize these. I did them last year. One of them is now living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the other is on our bedroom wall.
Here is my Frame Me Ticker, yes, you can do this!!:)

And this is a mini I made for the STUD April 2010 Hip to be Not Square Swap. It now lives in Kansas City, Missouri. I do miss this one a lot!! These are the quilts that made me such a fan of the Ticker Tape ...thanks so much Amanda Jean for coming up with such a novel way to use up our scraps!

Now for some recent additions to my Ticker Tape Album, most of these are small examples that you can use to make the quilt we are doing in Round 9.

Here is an idea using scraps with a holiday theme. You know those novelty fabrics that have great drawings but you have to cut one up to get a whole one of another...well here is an idea using those scraps!

This one is a baby doll quilt I made for a two year old cousin....I Spy...I know you have lots of cool scraps to make one of these! It was well received!

This one was made for another cousin. I want you to notice the scraps are inline and the same size. That makes sewing them on so much easier because you can just do straight lines up and down top to bottom, side to side. I also used fabrics from a collection...just wacked a 2 1/2" strip off the bottom of four fat quarters and cut out the rectangles....so yes, these weren't scraps!:)

Here is an example using a dark colored top fabric and then all black and white fabrics.

I noticed I had a lot of green scraps and that book fabric and immediately thought of a tree...a ticker tape tree!!

Here we have the nine patch look with a row of squares on point...yes...you can sew your scraps on in traditional block patterns!! This was another easy one to sew as I hardly had to lift up my machine's foot!!

Here at last is the bigger quilt, the one I am showing you how to make....here is the back....

...and here is the front! It is a nice lap size....made with four quadrants that were then sewn together to make a bigger quilt. It is so much easier sewing in smaller sections.

So next post we will start sewing scraps on, hopefully now you will start to get an idea how you might like to place those scraps. Did I give you more ideas?:)

I still have several more to show you....

Here is a sneak peek of one!!:)

Hope you are inspired!
