My Scraps' Box




Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you today?
Here the weather is...grey, cloudy and we have tons of angry mosquitos all around...
Let me say that... I HATE them but probably...they LOOOOOVE me...
I have a gazillion of mosquitos bites every where and this is just driving me crazy...GRRRR!!!
If you have some suggestions to prevent or to "survive" to mosquitos bites...PLEASE...let me know!!!!

Anyway...today I would love to show you my treasury box, aka my box full of fabrics scraps...



Isn't it amazing how many scraps you collect during years?
Every project you make.... produces new scraps...LOL!!!!
And...I don't know what about you but...I can not throw away even the smallest piece so...now...I've ended up with this...LOL!!!!



Today I decided to make something with my scraps so...I selected few of them, the biggest pieces...



Pressed them...


And cut them in 2.5" squares





Now they are ready to be pieced in a colorful quilt!!!

To be honest...I think I have enought material cutted for a couple of quilts...
I'm going to piece them in nine patch blocks, with a neutral background.
And, as I'm going to make a lap quilt, I would like to try to quilt it with the "As you Go" method, I've never tried it before...
Did you ever try it?
Do you have scraps?
And...what are you going to make with them?
I'd love to hear from you!!!
I wish you all a lovely Sunday!
Dany.
