After making bee blocks at the beginning of the week I was on a log cabin rush and spontaneously decided to make some quilt as you go blocks.
I usually spend a bit of time picking fabrics and thinking about how they go together but I did something I've never done before... when I'm working on a project I put my scraps to the side and then sort them later (or when I can be bothered), well I just grabbed those scraps and turned them into this quilt as you go basket!
I've been needing a thread catcher next to my machine after the beautiful pottery bowl I was using fell off and smashed. Sad. This one can't get hurt though and I used this tutorial for the overall measurements to make it and it's the perfect size!
I used a scrap of binding I had left over from a quilt and it makes me smile seeing those pretty little flowers.
Hope you're having a nice start to the weekend and I will be back tomorrow with a giveaway so make sure you stop by!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Lucy! Luscious indeed! Maybe even Luciscious!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Really nice.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Your scrappy risk really paid off. All of the prints seem perfectly at home with one another.
ReplyDeleteThis is darling! I love the scrappiness.
ReplyDeleteScrappiness = happiness! Lovely idea I may well nick.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy basket, may have to make one, too, since I don't have a thread catcher at all.
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than scrappy log cabin.x
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love little buckets
ReplyDeleteThey look smashing, may have to try that idea, quite the nicest Ive seen so far and in part because of the cracking scrappy fabrics, that all work so well!
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty little basket!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your smash free bucket!
ReplyDeleteI love the Clover clips! They make holding the binding together so much easier and there are so many other great uses for them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog and follow you on Bloglovin. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the give away! :)

You've done a great job :) hurrah for quick finishes. Except when it comes to... no I won't finish that thought.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I love a quick, unplanned finish. I'm needing more of those these days. Love that pretty little binding too.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have a bin next to my sewing machine, but its definitely a hit or miss affair on what actually makes it in there successfully (probably because I just drop thread in the general direction of it ;o) )
