I have been working on cutting and piecing my flannel scraps and managed in the last couple of weeks to create two small quilt tops. I originally had a top that was too long for its width so I removed one bright column and trimmed what I had left to 45.5" which gave me a top 36" x 45.5". I trimmed the edge of my leftover and used scraps to fill in a couple of columns. I needed to add some length so I created a panel of crumb quilting with some of my pastel scraps - totally fun!! I still needed some width so I stitched together three bright pieces - orange, bright stripes and aqua. I stitched this strip to my original piece and then added my panel of crumb quilting. Next, I added the bright strip which I originally removed to the top and bottom. This gave me a quilt top 36" x 44". So, I now have two small quilt tops which need batting and backers which I will work on next weekend. I really enjoyed creating the crumb quilting panel and it was satisfying to use up even the little scraps!! Therese
