Updates on Sewing Up My Fabric!

Since I originally posted my description of this blog, I have somewhat erred from my intention. I have actually bought much more fabric than I had but ................. in my defense, I got the solids at 50% off and the quilt shop fabric at 75% off, so that doesn't count, right? LOL

Purple? Where is my purple fabric?

Purple...............................I can't believe that I actually had to buy some purple fabric in order to continue making the rainbow projects that I have started.
I had very little purple and lavender fabrics!!!!!
 
Purple Sawtooth Stars
 
 

 
Scrappy Rainbow Heart

Bottled Rainbow Block
I am finally getting caught up on these blocks.

Purple Fabric Scrap Basket

Scrappy Rainbow Mountain Majesties is Growing

Scrappy Rainbow Rows are growing!

This is all the purple I had left.
Not much compared to the blues, pinks, and yellows.
I guess I need to keep an eye out for purples in the future.
I need to balance my stash. Right?

RSC15 Putting the pinks behind me and moving on to the yellows

The last of the pinks!
I managed to make a fabric box (pattern from Sunday Morning Quilts) and several 10" squares and 8-1/2" squares of fabric and I still have a stack of pink crumbs waiting for me for another time.

RSC15 Pinks - Nothing left but the crumbs!

All of the scraps have been reduced to precuts.

 
And now there is nothing left but the crumbs!

I plan to sew them into slabs of fabric for other projects.

Scrappy Rainbow Mountain Majesties
Now I have a blue row and a pink row. I am not yet sure what order I will sew these together.
 I think I will wait until the end of the year and audition my layouts.

RSC15 Progress in Pinks



From this.............................
to this!


 

 


  
I managed to cut up most of the pink fabric in the under bed storage container. I got several FQs, 2-1/2", 5", 8-1/2" and 10" squares plus some 2-1/2" strips. You can see in the background that I have also managed to sew up some of the crumbs into fabric slabs.



Here is a pink scrappy heart to go with my blue scrappy heart from last month.
 
I also made these two sawtooth star blocks.

RSC15 - Pinks!


This is a picture of my sorted pinks that have been in an under bed storage container for several years now. Even though they are sorted, I rarely open this container. I can't wait to get these all cut up and sewn up! I guess I should also say that it wasn't under my bed. I already had other storage containers under there. This container was stacked 5 high with fabric scraps of other colors which is another reason I haven't used these. This container was third down the stack!

RSC15 - Moving on from the blues!

 
I spent one more weekend working on the blues before I move on. I was able to finally make a fabric scrap box from the Sunday Morning quilt book. The box makes up larger than I thought it would but it isn't big enough for all of my blue leftover scraps and crumbs. I hope to get back to them later this year.

 
I am hoping to make a Rainbow Scrappy Mountain Majesty (Bonnie Hunter's Pattern). I now have one row of blues and plan to make a row each month. We'll see how that goes!
 
Well..................it's time to put away the blues and move on to the pinks!
