Sometimes I think
that it would be nice to have a fairy
godmother who could wave her magic wand and
"Pouff ".
My quilt was done and ready
to be enjoyed.
But what would be the fun in that.
The down side would be that
the quilt wouldn't have a story,
or a personal connection.
Earlier in the summer Barbara at
started a fun scrappy quilt using
leftover strips.
Check out her blog because
her quilt is done!
Guess what.
I had leftover strips too!!!
Don't we all?
The pattern we both used
is called Interweave, a String Quilt Pattern
It didn't take long to sew
the 2.5" and 2" strips together
in a random order.
"Second String"
It's a mish mash of color
and pattern,
I think every leftover was fair game.
Big sections are sewn together.
Randomly sewing the different width strips
makes for less matching.
It's a collage of color!
It's a great quilt to stitch and
recall where and when the fabric was
originally used.
It really is an easy quilt of quilt memories.
They're part of a "second string" quilt.
For now
it's in the pile to be quilted.
Hopefully, it won't remain there too long.
That magic wand belonging to
my fairy godmother may not be used
for quilting, but
I wouldn't object to her
using it to clean up after me.
