This was the last pattern we received prior to taking our summer break. I was determined to get caught up before our September session.
I had to ask for help from Stacia on one of the stitches our designer used but, in the end, I wasn’t able to make it work and went back to something I knew how to do.
The Flamingo gave me the most trouble but I managed to somewhat-learn two new stitches.
Another mystery block put to use as a card.
I didn’t piece this but I think it was someone who participated in one of Carol’s Summer Mysteries (or Saskatchewan Mystery as many in the group call it).
I did the quilting on my machine on Texada. It worked well and I’ll use it again for quilting if we spend a length of time over there and the quilting is simple.
Whoever made this did a great job of using scraps but still coming out with a beautiful design.
This project truly lived up to the theme of a handful of scraps. The quarter-square triangles are the cut corners from a recently completed quilt top. I made half-square triangles with them and then turned them into quarter-squares.
The sashing and cornerstones came from my 1.5″ scrap bin that I’ve been sorting through. The half-square triangles on the sides came from some cut corners that my friend Gail gave me.
I had to cut a couple of strips of yardage for the binding.
