Spin-Off
Here
I go again, experimenting with scraps and dies.
I
started with four 2½” x 6½” cuts of three different scrap
fabrics, sewing them together. Then I cut that square with the
X-Quisite die to make the signature shape. White on white dotted
triangle corners were added, then the four blocks stitched together
to make the spinner.
Rockette,
my trusty Singer 500A needed a little exercise and she handled all
the piecing with ease. I separated the blocks with 2” sashing and
added 4” borders around the perimeter to make Spin-Off 48”
square. I used a utility stitch to quilt in rows using off-white thread.
It's
a perfect little quilt to add to my ever growing donation stack. That
doesn't mean my scrap collection is shrinking, because I believe they
are multiplying like bunnies while I'm not looking. Or maybe I'm
collecting more material than I'm using. Did I mention I was gifted
14 tubs of fabric the other day? We're either gonna need a bigger
house or I have to find a way to sew more!
It's
National Sewing Month, so I challenge you all to sew or do something
creative in your sewing space every day...have fun!
