English paper pricing part 1


So recently my eldest and I have has taken up English Paper Piecing.  I should say circled back to as she started this 3 years ago, but she didn't get very far back then.  She is the one hand sewing and how it is being laid out and I am the one that selects the fabric and fits them on the paper.  This is truly a fun scrap project. 


Anyway, we found some 2 inch hexagons online for free. (Thank you Kelli form The Willow Market!) Now my eldest didn't like only hexagons, so I am in the process of making some more shapes with them.




The hexagons are the 2 inch ones and I am extending the lines.  This allows me to get more fun shapes on this quilt.  I printed 75 pages of hexagons on card stock, so we should be able to get pretty far on this.

Coin Quilt part 1


So I have been very busy with life. And it tis the season to go shopping...

So I found something scrappy to do with all those receipts.  


As you can see it is a version of a coin quilt. A very scrappy coin quilt.



There are no rules to it other than I am using receipts as the foundation of the quilt.  

This is about a week of sewing, but that is because I had all my scrappy strips of fabric in one place and had collected a ton of receipts.  I let the kids choose the next fabric so I didn't have to plan for the next fabric.  I really love how it is coming together.
