I’ve admired this quilt for quite awhile and finally decided to jump in and make it. I had this box of batik scraps from an applique project I started some time ago.
I’m making 24 blocks for the quilt and the box of scraps wasn't THAT big so I though I'd use them up with this quilt. I even found a pile of 2-1/2” strips of batiks to use when the scraps were gone. Well, I’ve finished cutting all the parts for the quilt (except borders) plus a nice little pile of leftover squares, strips and strings, and it looks like nothing is gone from the box.
It’s always a little disheartening when I think about how much fabric is in my cupboards, bins and shelves and how little is gone when I make a quilt. Oh, well. Every little bit used is progress.
