Using up the leftovers
I'm pretty excited about how far my layer cake of Ruby fabric went. Earlier I showed you the quilt top I put together for my granddaughter Ruby from the Ruby fabric. There were enough pieces left from the 10 inch squares to put together a smaller quilt top for her baby sister Mabel shown above.
Then I just kept going and used up all the trimmings and one inch strips and made three doll size quilt tops for the three sisters' doll bunk beds. I plan on making middle sister, Sadie, a quilt top from Marmalade when it becomes available.
Admittedly, I had a fat quarter or two to help with the sashing. . .
and with the borders as well as yardage of dotted fabric for alternating squares.
But I was pretty happy to do so much with so little. Now on to the quilting and binding.
Your leftovers are yummy.
ReplyDeleteAll so pretty and so color coordinated. The girls will love them.
ReplyDeleteWow, you cooked on those!! I used Moda fabric for the first time on a couch cover I'm making. I love it. You're so talented, Laurel.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful! I bet you feel pretty thrifty right about now, huh?
ReplyDeleteDo you know the story "Something from Nothing"--your post reminded me of it. Resources should be used until they are all used up--especially generating acts of love and kindness.
