My sailboat search had a lot of stars in it which was very distracting. I saw similar to the one you posted but not the same.

I do too. Those flying geese really put me off but I’m so tempted to try again. This guy (youtube link) makes incredible bags, often with patchwork elements, all from old clothes. I don’t want to quilt or make a bunch of the same thing but I do want to try just about everything I see at least once. Then, what do you do with it all? I like making bags & each one of his is different. I’m thinking about it… they’d make great gifts or donation items for a fund raiser.

There is a guy on FB that cuts up old quilts and crochet afghans to make hoodies and jackets…I just about die each time I see his videos, but the outcome is fantastic and he is repurposing stuff that people gave away or were going to throw out…
I like Don Kim as well…thanks for the link!

I just did free motion! LOL, good thing I liked it enough to try again. I have some plans this month, let’s see if I can actually get something done.

YouTube just recommended this video to me. I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I laughed, because the still image seemed like both @Magpie’s greatest temptation (ultra scrappy crumbs), and worst nemesis (flying geese/triangles).

I marionberries , offer Scrappy baby quilt for my medium personal finish.
I discovered a tray of trimmings from 5 baby quilts and some other kids items fron the last 7 years. I quickly stitched them up into 8.5 inch blocks. I had to purchase the sashing, backing and binding fabrics, but I did have enough batting…barely.
Here’s the post.

Good use of scraps! Lots of pattern and color…perfect for a baby quilt!

@MistressJennie, the sailboats are such a great way to showcase the different fabrics! I love that Jake’s family will be able to wrap themselves up in literal memories of him

@marionberries, what a great way to use up those fabric scraps!
@Magpie, I just added pics of my new basket and it reminded me that you should definitely submit your flying geese as a personal finish. You put a lot of work into them! Maybe the scrappy ones that MistressJennie posted would be easier to complete since they use triangle paper… Plus, imagine how amazing they would look once completed and used in a project

I tried the jackknife block for this cushion cover.
Try as I might (stitch ripped & resewn 3 times) I couldn’t get this one corner perfect.
Oh well, still pretty good for a first try, right? Right.

That cover is perfection.
