Like knitting, one of the things I love about quilting is that you’re able to use up nearly every bit of your materials, and if you’re careful, and conscious, there’s very little waste.
After I finished up the Jane Austen quilt, I had some strips left from the star border. Since they were already sewn together, I decided to chop them up into 2.5 inch pieces.
They were just perfect for the centre strip on a nine patch.
Then I gathered a few more leftovers and before you know it…
… 28 perfect little scrappy nine patches.
These nine patches will be paired with some friendship stars (still to be made), and all surround a big, beautiful flower medallion. What flower medallion, you ask… this one!
Oh Burton! You’re big and beautiful too – but we want to see that flower!
That’s better. Now, Burton and I need to go make some stars!

I can’t wait to see what you’re up to with that! I’ve never been very good at using up scraps that’s why I have bins and bins of leftover material. It came in handy for making masks but that’s about it.

I’m sure glad you have Burton there to help you make up those scrappy pieces. I’m sure his wisdom really helps a lot!
