Perhaps Lynne has "two bags of 1930's feedsacks" for all I know.
You are so close! I have 2 rubbermaid tubs of 30's fabrics. The are so cute and make sweet baby quilts. It's been a dry spell for babies, so I'l just have to donate them when I get to them
suspect that sometimes she is ankle deep in scraps so rather than have her trip over the odds and ends she can clean up the floor and send them to me. LOL
Sadly, you are a lot closer than you think. My floor IS littered with scraps! Not quite ankle deep, but could get there if I'm not careful. I'm not nearly as organized as you might think. If you entered my sewing room, your inner Dorothy would throw up her hands and faint I do have the little bulldozer you sent me at one time, but it just sits on the shelf and laughs at me. But--hey--it is my happy place.

I’ve kinda been away from the forum a bit. And back and forthwith my sewing as well! “A little bit of this….a little bit of that,”
earlier this week Carrie and Cathy came and helped me put together this last quilt for Denise’s family. I’m so glad this is done!
just to make it simpler, I thought the column would make it easier. It did, and I like the affect. The backing is pieces we had left (with a bit from my stash.). Enjoy!

I also finished putting rows together on this quilt for a friend. Pattern is from one of the 3 yard quilt books. Have you seen some of these books? Simple patterns, quick and easy.
i am hoping to use up some one yard cuts in the charity boxes!
but here is the quilt……might do borders.

Okay, this is an interesting method of creating small improvisational scrap quilts. First you create some large-ish panels of what I'm calling "hodge-podges" full of various sizes of squares and rectangles. (I am going to try to stick with my favorite brights and gaudy prints.)
Then I'm supposed to cut these large-ish panel "hodge-podges" into 3.5 inch squares. (That's a three-inch square Post-It note that I have put at the end of the scissors in the photo.)
Then I will use the small 3.5" pieced squares for the wall hanging I am going to make. There are gonna be a heck of a lot of seams in this thing.

Crumb quilts are cute. After my first one I said no more because it was a nightmare to quilt. Perhaps my crumbs were too small. ??

Back in 2015, I think it was Amy that was hosting a Nesting Robin. I only got the first couple of clues done when I got distracted with other things. I lost the themes for the rest of the rounds. Today I pulled what I had made from the UFO cupboard, have made the top up to 40”x42” (floor mat size), made a backing and black binding, and popped it onto the quilting pile for another day.
