Another one is nearing the end

My pile of quilt tops for finishing is getting smaller, and I picked a small one to do next.

This started off as scrap 2 1/2" squares that I put into four patches, then put into a quilt.  I'd like to use it as a table topper, so I didn't want it wider, but I needed it longer.  I've added some strips leftover from the blue quilts onto the ends and am now waiting for some fabric for the backing.  I did have enough batting in my offcuts, so apart from the back, it's all from scraps and leftovers. 

I won't be able to do any more on this until the fabric arrives, probably towards the end of the week, plenty of time to do something else.

A New Mystery Monday Project

The new Mystery Monday project was announced just before I went away.  I didn't think I would be able to take part as, at the time, I wasn't buying new fabric.  However, I was delighted to read the fabric requirements and see it was going to be something made completely from scraps.  Now that was something I could do.

The first week was posted the week I went away, and it was to cut squares of fabric.  Now that was an easy one, I already had lots of 21/2" cut.  That left me with two weeks to do when I came home.

One week was to make 18 four patch units of lights, the second, 18 four patch units of darks.  As I already had quite a few 2 patch units made up, this didn't take too long to do at all. 

Now I am ready for the next installment on Monday.
