Scrap Attack

Mostly I have been doing this...
Blackberry Jam

And this...

Corn Salsa

But I have managed to squeak in some late (and I mean laaaaate) night time to do this...


With inspiration from this book. I pulled all my green, blue and grey scraps and organized them in small, medium and large piles.


Then I trimmed and trimmed AND trimmed...



And turned those scraps into these...


Which, by the way, was very serene and relaxing sooo late in the quiet night.


Then  I played...



And played...


And played...


Don' you just love that moment when you go - OH YA! That's the one...


Now to baste and quilt this baby. Yay!!!

Hope you are all having lots of fun making your makes lately, I sure am enjoying cruising your blogs and catching up!!!

Linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

  18. That book is AMAZING and is one of my favorites. I want to make all the quilts from it, but the one I've managed so far--the Sunday Morning Quilt--also felt like therapy. It's hard to describe how it makes you feel to turn a pile of scraps into something gorgeous, without having to sweat bullets while making the pattern, huh?

    Wish I had homemade jam. :) One of these summers I MUST learn to can.
