Our Christmas plans had to be changed up because of weather and so many having the flu so I decided to take the time to sew on a few projects I had on the go.
I made up another 12 of these 12" squares. I have already made a stack of twelve and needed 24 to make a quilt top. The substrates are ones I got from my Mom. I started with a tringle in one corner trimmed to the edge, covered the inside edge with a strip and stitched through all the layers. Pressed the strip over and added another one. I made strips up as I needed them by sewing pieces together. These are mostly poly cottons with a few cottons strips added in where ever they worked best. I have the scraps mostly stored in ziploc bags by colour so I just make piles and start picking a colour, trim the pieces if necessary and stitch them into a strip long enough to cover the substrated. Repeat as many times as necessary to cover the area to the next corner. I rough cut a triangle and sew it on to finish the square. I am looking forward to sewing these all together and making the quilt top!!
