I love using scraps to “make fabric” and
this lap size pattern is a great place to show off made-fabric pieces or a
large print. The pattern is “Baker’s
Dozen” by Sherri B Driver and was a web bonus at McCalls Quilting for
March/April 2013. I simplified the frames
around the made-fabric.
I quilted Leah Day’s Echo Shortcut motif
in the made-fabric areas.
I stitched-in-the-ditch the
frames and meandered the background.
This was an easy pattern and I plan to use
it again to show off made-fabric pieces, maybe even for a queen size quilt.
Stay cool and enjoy time sewing
or quilting.

This is wonderful! I love your made fabric--improv to the young ones I guess--and the set it off in frames is just great. Very creative expression. I've got to remember this for those strings.
ReplyDeleteA great quilt someone will love. Glad to see scraps get used up into a top.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the "made" fabric - sure better than the mess I've made. Cute "Supergirl" outfit. Fun to see the girls, learning sewing and stitching! (elaineadairpieces)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! That seems like the perfect pattern to use with made fabric. Your quilting really sets it off as well.
