When we were camping in
April, I pieced a bunch of four-patch squares in random color
combinations. Once we were home, I added a few signature blocks,
resulting in this cute 29” table mat called Road Trip. The bright
yellow and white dot backing and binding gives it a happy look. It's
quilted with bright yellow thread in a diagonal pattern.
I enjoy sewing in the
camper, especially using scraps from my favorite quilting projects.
When a small scrap basket fills up, I schedule some cutting time with
my AccuQuilt cutter. It's much better than my former system: a huge
hamper and boxes stuffed with wrinkled fabric odds and ends. Cutting pieces into commonly used sizes keeps my scrap piles neatly organized and
gives me plenty of inspiration.
