After actually FINISHING a couple of projects is always FUN - ;))
My regular readers already know that I like to document my quilts/projects in a Scrapbook with a Scrap Card and a Heart for my Someday Memory Quilt - ;))
I started with the scraps from the Rooster Potholders -
I do my Foundation Paper Piecing my way - and have made so many Hearts through the years that sometimes I just want to "cover the paper" - so I approach it the same way I would if I were "string-piecing" something - piece some scraps together - put them down - stitch it - flip it open - press it -
Rinse and repeat -
Until I "cover the paper" -
Did I cover the Heart? - Looks like it - ;))
Good! -
Then pin it - right side down - paper side up - to a scrap piece of muslin -
Stitch it all the way around - back stitching at the beginning/end -
Remove the pins - trim it -
Take the paper off -
Cut a slit in the muslin on the back side -
Turn it inside out and press it -
And I have one more Heart for my Someday Memory Quilt - ;))
Left over scraps for the crumb blocks -
Do the same with the scraps from the Green Potholders -
Two Hearts and two Scrap Cards -
Then one more set for the Lavender Lovely - Baby Quilt - ;))
Then work up the Scrapbook pages - ;))
So the scrapbook is caught up - for now -
And I updated my UFOs/Squirrels/Projects page -
Next up - tackle that Mountain To Be Quilted -
We'll see how many more "finishes" I can get done before the end of the year -
I need that Mountain in the DONE category -
And I want to start working on that Someday Memory Quilt - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Those little hearts will make a lovely quilt. I made a scrap quilt for a friend and every time I see it I smile -because it has scraps from so many of the first quilts that I made.
ReplyDeleteWoo hooo! Almost everything I make is made of scraps ... but then it is given away and I have no record for myself except the pictures in my paper diary (or blog). I really like that idea of making those hearts.
