How to Save and Create a Beautiful Quilt.
Jun 16th, 2008 by admin
A quick tip for all those quilters who can’t bear to throw useful left-overs from a project.
Cut them into strips say about 2 1/2″ wide and then sew them into one continous length.
It doesn’t matter if they are different colours, you can place reds creams & blues next to each it just adds to the charm of it. It probably is a good idea to place clashing colours a little distance apart though.
When you have finished, roll it all up into a ball like knitting yarn and put it in a safe place.
Next time you need some binding for a scrappy quilt, you have it already there!
It’s so simple, economical & time saving.
Here’s one in the making.
I’ve already used some of it on this simple country quilt constructed from 6″ square blocks.
My son loves it, and so it lives on his bed most of the time.
Your loved ones will also take comfort from a quilt made by mum.
