Small, Smaller, Smallest

I want to thank Carol of Just Let Me Quilt for organizing another fun Hop.  I am a scrap quilter who's LOVE is minatures, so of course I had to join in.

My goal was to use up these scraps left over from a quilted jacket I had made for a guild challenge.  Too pretty to break down and throw into the mix of other scraps.  They needed their own project.

I needed a plan that would use that small amount of fabric to it's best advantage so it was ALL used.  I took the SMALL pieces and turned them  into the SMALLEST part of this piece.  Yes, those are one inch squares!

I then turned the SMALLEST into the SMALLER.  Several cute , tiny nine-patches ready to be set into the finished project.

I find a nine-patch just changes it's look when set on point.  I used what larger pieces I had for the border and pieced alot of the others to make the binding.  ALL of those scraps were used up into the SMALL project that included all of small, smaller, smallest.

I am currently working on another SMALL project for the RSC18 month's color of Spring Green.  Since I've used a lot of my greens in the past 3 quilts, I had to dig thru my scrap barrels for the SMALLEST bits to make SMALLER bird houses.  My SMALLEST of buttons will be the 'holes' and maybe some SMALLER buttons added to the border (yet to be put on).

For those not familiar with me and my 'barrels' - this is my old Pottery Shelf with my barrels of 'pre-cut' squares.  I work my fabrics down thru a system and when they get SMALL they go into these by 1.5", 2", 2.5" 3.5", and 5" sizes.  I seperate some of the SMALLEST sizes lites into those upper kitty snack jars.  My wonderful Eclair (yum) boxes have all of my buttons - well, some of them.

If you noticed, one of the big jars was rather full!!  I have made so many quilts from this and it is still stuffed.  I have several 'gifted' bags of fabrics to sort thru and I know I need space in this size.  So I am GIVING my 2" squares away - mailing only within the US.  I know these will fill a LARGE priority box - once I dump and fluff.  That's a lot of squares!  Just be sure I have a way of contacting you if interested.

**will pull the winner on the 10th**
