I’m Making One Of My Favorite Scrap Quilts!

I was suppose to start work on a Minnesota Vikings’ themed quilt today, but unfortunately all Joann’s in the Chicagoland area are out of Minnesota Vikings fabric! Ugh! However, as there is no rest for the wicked, I have to move on to my next commission quilt which is one of my favorite scrap quilts! It’s the Marriage Equality Quilt! I love making these because it is a chance to clear out my scrap bin! All of my half used fat quarters have found their purpose! I picked out the fabric, and I’m going to start cutting it tonight! Wish me luck!

Already Picking Out Fabric For My Scrap Quilt!

Since I got the order yesterday, when I got home from my day job, I started messing around with my fabric! I found my bin labeled ‘Large Scraps’ and started taking everything out of it. I found fabric remnants I didn’t even know I still had pieces of! It’s rather invigorating! So, I have a rough guess of the fabric I am going to use, and only 2 pieces are fat quarters that have not been cut into! I feel very frugal! I love it! Here is the fabric!

My Dad Got His Quilt!!!

My Dad finally got his Quilt this morning! He was elated! He was quite happy to get his quilt. It was pretty rewarding for me to see him get that happy! I gave it to him as I was leaving for the weekend to go and visit a friend. It’s pleasant to know that while I’m gone, he will be thinking of me as he gets under his lap quilt! I’m really excited for him to use it!

Christmas Scrap Quilt Update

Since I had to go to work today, which at least was nice exercise, I didn’t get to sew yet today. I think a craft a day keeps the doctor away, so I should be set for a while anyways. I did get quite a bit of work done last night, and I am quite pleased with it so far. I hope to finish the top either today or tomorrow, so we’ll see. I would really like to get this done soon, so I can use up all of those scraps from my other projects and move onto something else, and I want to give to my Dad as soon as possible!
