The bin is a small bin, but there are a lot of quilted pieces in it. This one has four leftover squares from a wedding quilt that was made over 30 years ago. It’s about time it came out of the bin and came together in a quilt.
Somehow, I had acquired three packages of charm squares. Along the way I started to make half square triangles. I have no idea what was in my mind for a pattern. This pattern showed up on the Internet and was just right for it. Both of these quilts will be community quilts. They still need to be quilted. I will do that as soon as all the bits and pieces that are in the bin are in a quilt or the mile a minute basket. The backing and binding are cut and ready.
So far, I have 20 placemats for Meals On Wheels. They are made with leftover blocks and cut square of all sizes. The top one was a handout in a class. We ever did use it. It was already quilted and the perfect size for a placemat. It just needed a binding.
There are several placemats made from squares that I cut out from leftover fabric. The squares were different sizes from 1 1/2 inches to 2 1/2 inches. The rail fence 30’s fabric blocks just showed up. I don’t know where they came from. They were different sizes, so I squared them up. There are two cats cradle block placemats. They were left over from a fill size quilt. The fourth one is a log cabin block left over from a quilt that I made years ago. A twelve-inch block with three-inch strips on each side makes a good size placemat. I tack down the bindings while watching tv in the evening.
There are still a few quilts left in the bin, so there is more to come.
Have a great day and happy quilting.
