I'm trying to use up as much of my scraps and stash as possible at the moment. I really need to stop buying new fabric and start using what I have. So far, it hasn't been a challenge!

WIP Wednesday: Low Volume Baby Quilt
Today I'm auditioning binding for this low volume baby quilt top I made on the weekend.

Little Wonky Triangles
July's bee block was this cute, and super simple, wonky triangle block.
Janine pointed us to this post and said she wanted these for her month. Her requirements were that they were 6.5" white squares, in rainbow colours (we chose which colour we wanted) and tone on tone fabrics. I chose purple as I had quite a few tone on tone purple scraps.
This block is a fantastic scrap buster. I used solely scraps for these. I love how they look together too. I'm now planning some scrappy baby quilts using this block. Just add it to the ever growing list.....

Giant I-Spy Cushion
On Wednesday night I finished this giant 24" I-Spy cushion for Master 3.
It's made up of four 12.5" blocks that I randomly pieced improv style from all manner of boy type fabrics. Some scraps, some stash.
I had a go at free motion quilting for the first time on something other than a secondhand pillowcase stuffed with scrap batting. It's certainly not perfect but it's not too bad and definitely better than I expected. I used a lovely variegated King Tut thread.
Master 3 chose this motorbike print for the back. Motorbikes are the flavour of the month.
I used this great tutorial to put the cushion cover together. These cushions are a great way to use up scraps and practice free motion quilting. I will definitely be making more.

Star Value Block
Sue's June block in QCA Bee # 2 was this Star Value block. You can find the tutorial at Happy Quilting.
I used only scraps and some low volume charm squares. I'm not a huge fan of making half square triangles but I love the effect that they make with this block. Looking forward to seeing all the blocks together.
