Scrap Avenue Quilting

03/26/2023

This block is several years in the making. 😳 When I got stuck on the second to last block, I kinda put it all on hold. So even though I had my letter fabrics picked out and ready, I couldn’t make them out of order, so I waited…

And waited…

And finally when I did the other block, I wasn’t sure what to use in this one for the non-lettering part.

well, when I woke up this morning, I knew I wanted to finish this, I wanted to just use scraps, and I wanted it to be a rainbow. So here she is the final block! 🥳🥳

Next up for my scrappy pineapple quilt: yellow! 💛

I love yellow, but I find it’s a pretty difficult color to pair with a scrappy background. Sometimes it just wants to blend in. I think 🤔 I did ok with it though, I had enough golds to give it some contrast.

I’m up to 12 blocks now, I think the goal is going to be 30. That should give me a nice size throw quilt and still let me keep my sanity with all these pieces. 😅

I know I’ve been a bit absent lately, but I have been slowly working on my pineapple quilt blocks. Here is a lovely orange one! 😊

These are quite fun to make, but you can probably imagine they take a lot of time to cut all the pieces and then to sew them all together. After all, there are 61 pieces in each block. 😅 with the added time needed to press and trim after each round of 4, it is no quick task.

I hope you enjoy watching these add up, I am certainly enjoying watching my 1 1/2 inch scrap bin being depleted and finally used!

I was saving my 1 1/2 inch strips to make a log cabin quilt one day… but my squirrel 🐿 attention span mixed with my little bit extra foiled that plan. Pineapple 🍍 blocks are what I am making instead! 😅

These have a lot of pieces, but the Creative Grids skinny pineapple trim tool at least make the trimming a lot easier!

What are you working on today?

After just 2 years on hold, block 47 of the Fussy Cut Sampler!

I am not sure why, but this block just stumped me for the longest time and I had no idea what fabrics to use for it. Today I just decided to go for it and use some fabrics from the penny arcade line that I have had forever… mixed in with some Halloween fabric. I think they work well together!

So, after all that, I’ve just got one block left to go!

Happy New Year!! 🎆

I finished my this morning! Swipe to see some additional pics as well as the faux piped binding and a peek at the backing fabric. 😍😍

I’m so glad I took the extra time on the layout and the binding. I often find myself rushing through those steps so I can just get it done. Especially after spending so much time on making the blocks. I love how it came out, and that peek of color from the binding makes me so happy. ☺️☺️

So, the thoughtful hubby bought me these two Riley Blake pillow kits for my birthday and I just now got to putting them together. 😳😳😳

I did have to adjust them a bit as I already had 18” pillow forms and these were for 20” pillows, but with a tiny bit is math and a little determination, I got them both made in the last 2 days!

Now I’m ready for more quilty gifts! 😂😂
