To Do List Progress

I have a finish this week! I attached our little 12" by 12" quilts to their quilted background and got the sleeve sewn onto the back.


By "our" I mean my art group, the Sew Silly Sisters. We haven't decided on a name for this yet but I'm calling it Scrap Basket Surprise at the moment. These were made using fabrics from our scraps. We brought our scraps to a meeting, then pulled fabrics that we liked from everyone's bags and divided them up as evenly as possible between us. Our instructions were to use only these fabrics and make a 12" by 12" finished size piece using any of the methods we had played with over the last year.

What a great scrappy, gloriously happy quilt you Sew Silly Sisters have made together!! I loved the close up view that was possible, too.

Well done and applause to all!

Cheers!

Neat. I like the colors and the randomness of the design. The black sashing really looks good.
