I know this quilt is nothing to look at, but I hope it will make someone happy. I hate throwing anything away, especially scraps. Recently, I discovered that I have at least seven totes of t-shirt scraps leftover from all of the t-shirt quilts I have made. This quilt is made of 8 1/2 inch squares. I am I used leftover batting scraps as well. I have an abundance of batting scraps taking over my life, or at least my fabric storage.
Of course, Mr. Weasley is right there to help sew together the rows. He was actually behaving for once and allowed me to get something done.
My stacks of 6 1/2 and 8 1/2 inch squares that I have been cutting up. These will be turned into more rag quilts.
My stacks of 4 1/2 inch squares that I have been cutting up. I plan on putting scrap interfacing on the backs and make scrap quilts out of these. I hate to know how many I've cut up so far. It seems like the cutting never ends!
I expect to make at least a couple dozen quilts out of all of these t-shirt scraps. My plan is to donate them to various organizations. My goal is to make one once a month. Once I get everything cut, it should go a little faster. The good thing about these quilts is they cost me next to nothing to make. The backs are made up of sheets I bought at Goodwill several years ago for $2.00 a sheet. Talk about a bargain!
