Scrappy Green Saturday


I worked on the many many tiny bits of green scraps. I had tons of little triangles left from making binding. I love to use green for my binding. I got 10 crumb 6" blocks done. I also like to call this Poverty Piecing, as I am making something out of nothing. I love the depth of the greens in these blocks. 


I got five Lime green sprout blocks done. I still have enough that I may get 5 more darker green blocks done this next week. You can find the pattern at Tracey Jay Quilts


I found the clover block on Pinterest but then I did not like the web site instructions, so I kind of made up my own. They look the same. Can you see the background fabric? It is horse Shoes. How very lucky is that?  


This is Selvages. Yes I have gone crazy and mad and silly all at once. I sewed the green (and other colours here and there) bits of 2" wide selvages I had collected.  I have no idea what I will do with them now. I need to sew more before I can make much. 

I will be adding this post to the linky party over at Soscrappy.  Go see what other are doing with their green scraps. 


So I am out the door today. The Leduc Black Gold Quilt Patch is having a Quit till you Wilt day. We have rented a church for the day and are sewing up a storm. We have another crappy weather weekend with snow/rain/sleet. There are no agility dog trials locally. So I sew today. We also have pot luck supper planned. It should be a good time.

  4. I love pot luck... others are such good cooks. Your poverty blocks are gorgeous, and look vaguely like a watercolor quilt. Thanks for sharing your blocks. Love it all!

  10. Did you wilt? Love all the gradations of green in your poverty blocks. Such cute shamrocks.... Those would make a great little table runner for the holiday.
