Something Old, Something New


An old project finally finished! This top has been finished since January 2017, but this month I finally quilted it and finished the binding this week. The blocks were made month-by-month in the 2016 Block Lotto, a fun group I have participated in from time to time. It was a great project to use lots of scraps, and I really loved making the chickens and chicks.




I found a perfect chicken backing fabric to finish it off!


A new project (using old fabric). I decided to use up my small pile of Halloween fabrics using Happy Blocks. These blocks are terrific for novelty prints and leftover strips. My kids loved when I made Halloween themed place mats and pillow cases when they were little, but now they are teens and I haven't touched these fabrics in years. Time to clear them out. I'm sure our comfort quilt team will find a kid who loves Halloween to snuggle with this quilt. I pieced the remaining Halloween fabrics for a scrappy back, and I just need to finish the binding for our September guild meeting.



Linking up with Cynthia's Oh Scrap where there are always many wonderful scrappy projects!

Your farm quilt is really cute. You could make an entire quilt using some of those blocks like the chicks. Keep up the good work!
