Fairy Girl's scraps..

not a quilt finished by me but Fairy Girl has her scrappy quilt finished...........

Last stitch in the binding........all done...........

We'll call it "modern"...........

she started out a few years ago just wanted to sew fabric...joining piece of scraps together........learning how to make things fit.........

it grew and grew and grew......she used a few random blocks........scraps my girlfriends visiting over time also gave her.........

Sadly this quilt is double bed size and she didn't put a dint in the scraps....lol..

but she had such fun just joining pieces together.....making things fit together...........I think I straightened up one edge when it was very small and it is pretty square........

It is backed with a light green with white spot polar fleece so very snuggly......

quilted by Betty Field........

I had told her I was not getting it quilted and she would have to do it but I surprised her not long ago and she was so excited........she had to finish the binding off........

I wished I could just "play free"  like this..........but ideas, colours, styles of fabric have "rules" in my head......

Catch you later.....

Keeping the love of blogging alive

Fairy Girls creations.....

In the Christmas holidays Fairy Girl just wanted to play in the scraps..........she just wanted to sew bits of fabric together.............the pile of scraps is a fairly varied.......plus some scraps from a few other fiends it is pretty eclectic.......

She kept sewing.............and sewing and sewing...........little bits making bigger bits........

scraps from so many projects..........even some of Jindi's scraps from her SKofW SAL quilt........a piece of green fabric that Jenny @ Bird on the Border brought with her last week as she knows she loves green......some of the backing that she had on her very first quilt............playing with a mini twister...........

This holidays she finally got the top finished............

It's about 70 x 80inchs........

she used lots of scraps but OMG I see no difference with the scrap box.............

now what to do about the quilting................

one of her friends had a birthday recently..............she wanted a tree..............

Fairy Girl started this one Sunday afternoon and had it finished Monday morning..........

She has raw edge appliqued the pieces down...........

wished I could work so free of thoughts.........she just cut the pieces out with scissors and put them on...........I only helped with the binding lesson.....we actually used a full piece of fabric on the back and folded back onto the front and stitched down..........I had to show her how to stitch it down...........

another recent finish is this cushion.............love the hedgehog.............

shes been busy busy.........learning and creating different things all the time..........

bound by no rules or expectation...........

and a pic of the keets yesterday..........still super cute......

2 tops in 10 in days......OMG.......

With a bit of a delay due to sleepover Aunty duties...........

finally......second quilt top finished................or maybe not............

this is without boarders..............72 x 72inch square.

border options................what do you think???

the big floral would be not quite this wide..........

I do have to get some more yardage which should be fine...........

closer up..............

And with a top together i was inspired to work on another old one.............

it's been in and out a bit lately............

even made it to the design wall and got pull back down................

another block nearly finished and most of the sashing done.....

Need to measure them all but I think the sashing has been cut 4 3/8 instead of 4  1/2 inchs............

It will work out but AARRRHHHH.........

loved the holidays and the long weekend.........

Fairy Girl is playing in a bundle of scraps, selvedges etc...........

no direction really, no rules to follow just having fun joining fabric together..........

also added in a few random left over blocks, stuff ups etc.............

Anyway hope you have enjoyed your weekend..............

So border or no border???? 

Help.......need your thoughts.............

Catch you later
