Bags from Scraps

I've been working hard to get my scraps organized so they actually get used.  Typically, I store them by project in a plastic bag and then promptly loose the bag!

When I cleaned up after making two different quilt coats (the first and the second), all my scraps and leftover geese and HST stayed piled on the corner of my table and I turned them into two bags!

Such a fun quick process.  I used Noodle-head's wide open pouch tutorial.  The largest maps to her middle size while the smaller one is somewhere between her small and medium.

I love them both!

Have a wonderful day! Patty

HST and HRT BOM May update

Block 5 is now done from the Modern HST BOM .   This is absolutely my favorite block so far!

When the QAL started, you were told how many HSTs and HRTs you would need for the whole quilt and you could size them anyway you wanted to get the finish size that would work for you.  My blocks will finish at 8" which means my HST or squares finish at 2". 

Here are the other 4 blocks

Check out all the blocks at #modernhstBOM2022.  While most of my quilts are made from my own designs, I always enjoy having a project where someone else tells me what to sew.  My only decision is the fabric!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
