Scrappy Flying Geese Quilt

Hello friends and happy belated New Year!

It has been a while since a posted any new work on this space. But I have been busy creating and I have several new projects to share with you. Last year I decided that I needed to start managing my scraps better. And after trying different methods of sorting and storing them I came to the conclusion that they best way to manage fabric scraps is simply using them. So I I’ve been creating various quilts and other projects using solely scraps. It has been so rewarding and so much fun seeing full quilt tops emerge from scraps that at times seem forgotten at the bottom of my scraps basket. That is the case of this little quilt. A couple years ago I got a flying geese ruler set and began cutting the triangles from my scrap pile put them in a bag and forgot about them for a while. While working on another project I found them again so I decided to make them into a little lap quilt. I only had to cut a few more to complete the design and quickly I had all the pieces to put this quilt together. I love that there wasn’t so much planning; it just came together so organically. I quilted with a simple straight line pattern (probably my favorite) and I finished itwith a black and white polka dot fabric for the binding for a bit of contrast.

Until Next Tine
