I made a
Ticker Tape mini quilt! and I love it! and I want to make a hundred more!
Making this quilt was seriously fun because I got to use some small scraps that I just can't part with. Not as small as a scrap I shared on IG but fairly small. I have a lot of them, too, so I probably could make a hundred more.
I added a cross-stitch strawberry square I had tossed in the scrap basket. It turned out to be my favorite part.
This quilt totally validates my crazy tiny scrap saving. The thinnest piece is less than 1/2". It's the red/pink DS barbells up there in the left hand corner. I mean, how could you throw that away?
I'm linking up today with Crazy Mom Quilts (who thought up this super fun quilt) for Finish It Up Friday.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Sewing!

So sweet!! I love it!! I made a couple ones similar a few years ago using scraps of vintage hankies I used for my wedding invites. These quilts are such a sweet way to use those pretty scraps!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteSuch a great project to use those hard to throw away tiny scraps! I love the sweet colors and the strawberry theme!
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so cute...love it!
ReplyDeleteoh Erin. This is simply adorable! I have wanted to make a TT quilt forever...or at least 4 years! Love your tiny scraps...and the handstitching and the strawberry! ooh lala! xo
ReplyDeleteOMGosh I LOVE THIS!!! AHHH!
ReplyDeleteI love it too, Erin. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute little quilt - I totally want to make one. But I'm always puzzled by such little mini-quilts, what do you do with them?
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! My kind of quilt. I keep every scrap also.
ReplyDeleteSo cute Erin! Another precious make
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long, long time since I have made one. The one I made was a doll blankie for my granddaughter. They totally validate all the precious little scraps that just can't be tossed, don't they?
Such a great idea and looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Love the little stitched strawberry too. Question: Does one fuse these tiny pieces first or not? They are all so straight and perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable Erin! I'm going to start saving my tiny scraps to do this. So fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteDenise Marie, I use them for my quilt wall as a hanging or as a doll quilt for my children. This one in particular is a wall quilt now.
Kathy, I didn't fuse them. You could. I just sew as I go. A dab of glue could hold them into place first also.
I love this! It drew me right in from my Bloglovin feed. The little cross stitched strawberry is perfect on here.
ReplyDeleteThis came out adorably. I hope you make lots more of these. They would be super fun to use as place mats for a party.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE your quilt!! Such a sweet idea to make with treasured scraps! Your placement and selection is gorgeous, and of course "strawberrylicious!"
