Finally found a use for those large scraps…actual yardage in some cases…that have been sitting around forever. Rather “old-maidish” and old-fashioned prints. I’ve just never found a good use for them…but I still have them!
Surgical masks! there are so many patterns out there, and advice, and material suggestions. But in many cases it just comes down to basic protection for health workers and “something is better than nothing”. We’ve had several calls from local health centers for masks. This is the link I am working from right now. I’m going to run out of elastic, so I’ll probably switch to ties.

There are several people here who are making these as well as the more fitted masks. I followed a tutorial by @tendstowardschaos that look like the ones you are making as well…those prints will be welcomed…the are still very lovely!
I am using a boatload of red, white and blue prints to try to get some more for men…not sure how many would want to wear cute little owls…
Love the strip you added to the back! A real double sided quilt.
Gorgeous work.

This is just phenomenal. I’ve realized we like similar patterns. I’ve been looking at one in the Connecting Threads catalog very similar to this. The strip on the back is most excellent!
Happiness is… colour sorting your scraps and seeing past projects, prize wins and swap extras… seeing all the vintage scraps from your grandmother’s stash… then this cool thing that she couldn’t throw away!
