While searching through my scrap drawers to find the right
colour fabric for the applique I did on the Woodland Animals quilt it again hit
me just how much scraps I have. Worst of
all is that not all of these are mere 2 or 3-inch pieces, some are easily the
size of a long or fat quarter and I gave myself a friendly reminder of one of
my New Years’ resolutions which were to use my scraps in quilts.
In January I already started downloading the clues to a
mystery quilt by Charlotte Hawkes but I just had too many other things already
going. So I could watch everyone’s
progress and by now had a vague idea of what the quilt would look like once
completed.
Whenever I take this container out is can only mean plenty
of scrappy cuts that I need to keep track of.
So the container came into play and I got cutting.
Pretty soon after the cutting started it dawned on me that I
can make life so much easier if I just used my Accuquilt Go cutter.
Even with this, and it may not look like much but it still
took up most of a full day.
The cutting instructions and Clue 1 can be found HERE.
Then I too could finally start with clue 1 – months later
than the other participants!
