Working With Scraps

Happy Holidays Travel Panel

In an attempt to keep my scrap pile under control and not cut into 

any new yardage I added several rows of 2-1/2" x 6" pieces to

the top and bottom of this panel.

Julep ... not helping.

Christmas Cactus ... in bloom.

There are times I just like to simply sew two blocks together and then

stack them up for pressing.  This gives me time play with a layout

in my head.  In an effort to [here again] use up my scrap blocks

from other projects I decided to do two lap size scrappy

holiday quilts.  While these have no destination to go

to [as of yet] they will hang out with me until something

or someone comes to mind.  

Scrappy Quilt Top #1

A simply layout of two 6" blocks separated by 

a 2-1/2" x 6" strip.

Scrappy Quilt Top #2

Guess you could consider this an I Spy holiday quilt.
