This week in the sewing room

A half hearted attempt was made on getting more sorting of those pesky scraps but as usual it was more interesting to grab some and start cutting and sewing them together.   First up I started with the teal container which had more aqua  so they have been re-named light teal and ended up with this.


All that needs to be done is trim and bind and there is another small PICU quilt finished.   These come together very quickly.

Then it was onto some more "bricklaying" of pink scraps and this is how that ended up.


Again this just needs to be trimmed and bound and another small quilt for the PICU.

So now you can see why the scrap sorting is not really progressing as I keep finding ways to use using the rotary cutter and sewing machine.

I think your scrap sorting is going great guns, as you are actually using them. That’s a win win in my books. It doesn’t matter if they don’t all get sorted this month. You have at leas made some progress.

I love the teals - one of my favourite shades of colour. Great uses of your scraps x

Way to go! Making quick work of your TEAL scraps is SEW much better than sorting!!!

I do rather like your pink brick quilt, thanks for the inspiration. I can see something similar happening here someday soon!

I really like your bricklaying in pinks. Glad that you are using up lots of little bits.

You might not be good at scrap sorting but you've sewn up a couple sweet PICU quilts! Good job!

Glad they inspired you to make something or two somethings. You should still feel a great sense of accomplishment even if you did not succeed in the main goal. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.

I loved reading that you decided to just grab and sew them up! It was a perfect idea and better than sorting if you ask me.
