Just for fun!
Do you ever need to do something just for fun? Sometimes when I need a break from major projects, or a between thing, I make up these little log cabin-ish blocks, that are sort of like roses! These litte roses are made from the tiniest scraps that I keep in a bag; that I can't bear to throw away. Then I applique them to 6" scrap blocks that I always have on hand (another rainy day project that I love). So I baste these flowers with a water soluable thread, then stitch them down, raw edges and all. I'll machine quilt the entire piece, add a binding, and I have a little quilt; a colorful garden. As soon as it's finished I'll share it with you. Aren't scrap quilts the best?
What are your rainy day quilting projects, or what do you do when you need to remember that quilting is fun, and not a race to perfection?
