Scrappy Happiness

Accidental photo shoot, but perfect background.

What a simple quilt. It started as a leader and ender project for me while I pieced my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt, Indigo Way, this winter.

I have a tote of 2 1/2 inch square pieces of fabric. Lots of memories in that tote of past quilts.

4×4

Lots of different fabrics. Other than not wanting two of the same fabrics next to each other, no thoughts of which fabrics to sew together.

Lots of pinning when I sewed the 4 piece strips into 16 piece blocks. I did have some real arthritis pain in my right hand, so I limited my time sewing. If I overdid one day, I wouldn’t sew on this project the next.

Finally on to the Simply Sixteen.

No binding yet, but quilting is done and squared up.

Since the whole quilt is made of leftovers, I made a scrappy binding. But as you can see I was a few inches short.

Lots of seams makes a heavy quilt, I’m sure someone will want this one to snuggle up in.

Close up

My father’s old cattle trailer seemed like the perfect background. I’m sure he is watching from heaven and laughing at me.
