Scrap Challenge Project #3

Do you remember the crumb block I made last week?


Well, I liked it so much that I made three more, joined them together, added borders and binding, and now have a rather nice runner.


And the super thing about it is that it is all made with scraps.  In the centre piece the scraps ranged from 1" to 2 1/2" wide.  I stitched the scraps onto pieces of paper, cut from the telephone directory, 2 1/2 x 6 1/2".  Three of these strips were then sewn together to make a 6 1/2" block.


The borders and binding were longer scraps but they still needed to be joined to get the length I needed.


I pieced some scraps of batting together, backed it in a piece of the leftover Toile de Joue duvet cover (from Ikea) that I used to back my Starry Sampler quilt and did some simple straight line quilting.


It measures 31 1/2" x 13 1/2".  All of the scraps are from the Chambray Rose collection by Shabby Chic, mixed with some Kona Snow scraps.




It's new home is in the bedroom on the chest of drawers.

  2. That is a great way to use scraps. I never think to make table runners, but I may do that to test out some blocks. Thank you for the inspiration.
