An old scrappy creation

  I have a bunch of the melon part of these blocks ready to stitch down to the white background.  I was intent on hand blanket stitching them down someday, but today, I used the sewing machine and just sewed around the melons.  I kind of do like the folksy look of the hand stitching, so I think I will do the rest of the blocks by hand.



Just another way to use crumbs of fabric...hope you are having a few moments to create something just for you.

Very pretty! Isn't it amazing how solid white or black backgrounds make such stunning quilts?

Julie, I love the look of this scrappy quilt! Oh dear, I hope this isn’t a “Squirrel! Got to make this quilt” moment... that said, what size are your melon pieces?

Wonderful! I, too, love handwork but realize that sometimes the machine needs to make my life easier if I ever hope to finish up all my many UFO's. Either way, this will be fantastic in all of its scrappy glory!!
