That's a lotta wool!

Well I'm finally done moving my Grab 'N Go Kits operation to my home.  I had a little help with getting everything moved in. I'm so grateful to my littles for all their help.  The husband is priceless too. My longarm is setup at full size and ready for my first quilt. I'm going to get some of these scrap challenge quilts done and get the binding attached.


My April Scrap Quilt Challenge is ready for viewing. Take a look.

April Scrap Quilt Challenge

Bonus!

Last month my quilt was made using 2-inch strips cut from my many orphan fat quarters.  I got a bit carried away cutting and had (still have) lots of strips left after a couple of quilts. I did this quilt using the Jellyroll Race technique.  I miscalculated the number of strips to use and I had a large section left over. It measured 27" x 40'ish". My friend said make a bag! so I did! I layered some batting and lining fabric and added some simple machine quilting. Then I added straps, sewed up the sides and boxed out the bottom. To cover the seams on the inside I added binding. Done! I was very surprised to learn the my new bag holds 2 plastic project boxes perfectly. Love it!

May's quilt is made using Batik scraps. Here's some of the fabric I started with. These are sample cards fabric companies use to show shop owners what the latest fabric designs for ordering. I didn't order these fabric by the bolt but I did use these samples in my quilt. You'll have to wait until next month to see what I did with them.  After getting all my Batik scraps together for May's scrap quilt starting June's easy.  I'll show you that quilt soon.

That's all for now. Keep stitching!
