Scrap Quilts - Beginning - Inspired by Quilting Board!
#31
Wonderful work. I too have found scrap quilt pictures here on the board and have taken the idea out of my sewing room and so far have made two beautiful quilts. If I ever stop piecing long enough, I am going to learn to post pictures so everyone can see that I am really serious about my quilting......
Yours is the third one that I will be making soon. I forgot the other two that I got ideas from, but to all of you, thanks a million.

It's my first time using the phone book pages and it's working great! I made my stitches smaller than usual, and it perforated the paper so that it can be removed easily! The paper is thin, so it tears very easily. I know some people leave the paper in the quilt and let it dissolve in the wash when done. But, I decided to remove it before quilting due to the concern you expressed about the black ink and light colored fabrics. There is no ink on the quilt using this method. I learned about the phone book pages from the Quilting Board too. A wealth of knowledge!

I love making scrap quilts, currently working on a String Star quilt.
Here's a short video of me sewing some of the blocks. I'm using a 1914 Singer 115 treadle.
