A leftovers quilt for donation
As usual I cut too many strips so I started thinking about a leftovers quilt to empty to bin out after briefly considering just tossing the strips in the string bin. First I looked at doing another spiderweb.
But then I thought I’m tired of these fabrics and just want some quicker so I think I’ll do a two rail fence.
Of course my version will be scrappier but I’m lazy when I’m working in EQ6 and just use a single fabric where I’m going to use many in the real quilt.
Mary I really like the 1st one.
Simple classic patterns really never get old. It’s all about the fabrics and choices, and I like your way with both
How’s your boy, doing? Will Chestie travel with you this holiday? Sorry if I misspelled.
I would not say you are ‘lazy’ only showing two fabrics on the rail fence. You being THRIFTY with your time, so you will have more of it to SEW with! :::big grin::::
I love the look of the railfence. You’re not being lazy though, just sensible. It’s all too easy to get sucked into using loads of different “fabrics” and that takes time away from sewing with real ones!
I know what you mean about being tired of some fabrics. I tend to stop sewing for a period of time to avoid seeing some of mine again.
The rail fence is definitely a perfect pattern to quickly use scraps.
