Sewing Box Scraps

I inherited a cute little cabinet from my Mom, and I wanted to make a seasonal table topper for it.

A Prairie Journey by Kathleen Tracy features sweet mini quilts. Kathleen uses reproduction fabrics to make her minis.

Since I wanted a seasonal table topper, I chose to make my version in orange, black and white.

I have lots of scraps cut into 1-1/2″ strips and this mini is a fun way to use them!

My mini version measures about 15-1/2″ x 17-1/2″.

RSC18 August

Orange and brown are the colors of the month announced by So Scrappy and The Academic Quilter.

I am making three blocks a month, and I’ve chosen the 5 inch size to use for the Squared Away Sampler project.

If you would like to participate in the RSC18 Squared Away Sampler project click on the link to read all about it.  You can also visit The Academic Quilter for great tutorials on making the blocks.  There is a chart of various sizes so you can choose what size blocks that you would like to make.  

I guess I didn’t hear that brown part, because I am now noticing that I didn’t use it.

Oops.

Here are all of my blocks so far:

I am sure glad that orange came to the party!  I wasn’t so sure that my stand out red block was going to be able to play, but she has brought her friends!

I will be linking up with So Scrappy.  Check out the link and see what others have done with orange and brown this month!

Intersections

That’s what I’ve decided to call this lap sized quilt.  Intersections.  It is the sneak peak that I gave to you here and here.

It is finally finished. 

YES!
