Quiltalong - 2022

So, I was working on the elephant butt scrap project, and I ran out of yellow scraps. Those scraps came from cutting the backing on another quilt to the right size. I still had some yardage of that fabric in my stash, too, but that was meant as backing for two other projects.

Those projects weren’t exactly scrap projects but the fabric was technically leftover from a previous project (the Dinoroar kids quilt ) When I bought that fabric, it was discounted, so I bought a little more than I needed and the shop threw in a second panel for free.

So, to get more yellow scraps to finish up the elephant butt project… I had to make those other two projects first. I cut them last weekend, pieced one top on Friday and the other top yesterday. Then I cut backing and batting for both projects and then I had this leftover:

Which probably will be enough to finish the other project (it’s a 6" wide strip and I need 5" squares).

Here are the other two tops, by the way:

Basically they are accidentally finished tops that I needed to get out of the way to get some more scraps :laughing: I have some tiny scraps of the dinosaur fabric now but most of it is used up after these two projects. Apologies for the bad pictures, it was very late and dark when I took them.
