Let's Book It - Feb 2016

Boy, this month just flew by didn't it?  I know there are a few more days, but I have scheduled posts right to the end of the month - so link up is a day early.  BUT remember, it is about pulling that book, magazine, pattern, or saved file and work that project - does not have to be finished.

   

This Paula Stoddard book was my inspiration for this month's project.

I pulled my scraps - my tote of shirtings and homespuns.

The bits needed for the flowers (and their background fabrics) were pulled from another scrap tote. 

I used black thread and one of the blanket stitches on my machine to do all the flowers and their parts.  I spent time at my daughter's (babysitting while she attends lectures for her next degree) and that's when I did the hand quilting - after the munchkins went to bed.

The binding is all the scraps from the piecing - all of those scraps used up!

The back was an old piece of Debbi Mumm - gone!!!  and there were just two 4.5" squares left of that tiny buffalo check - my hanging corners.  Yes, the batting used was a cut off from a quilt, so more scrap used up.

Finished sized is 12.5" x 26.5" and I love it!!!!!

Now it is your turn to link-up:
