I have been working on a couple more things too.
In the spirit of moving forward with UFO's I hauled out my older Dream On stars quilt.
It only needed the binding done. I had to make the binding and attach it.
I had that green vintage sheet just begging to be made into binding for this beauty.
Bonus that I only needed 5 strips for the entire quilt!
Now comes the task of hand sewing the binding down. I'm working on it.
This will be included in my Finish Along group.
I cut up a TON of old batting scraps to use for making rag quilts.
If you happen to have old charm or layer cake squares you don't need or no longer want,
I would happily take them!
I know I usually end up with a few left over squares that I don't end up using in the project.
They typically end up in my scrap bin.
Well, feel free to mail them off to me! I need 12" squares, 10" squares and 5" squares.
I don't really want to take the time to cut a ton of these.
So if you want to clear some out, email me at mamaspark@gmail.com and
I will give you my mailing address.
I have enough of my own fabric that I can cut up, but if they are already cut,
you know it will go that much more quickly!
I did take the bull by the horns and cut up a bunch more of my vintage sheets to make
198 squares for one of the sets of batting I have cut out.
I put them all together and sewed the "X" across the squares.
All that's left is to sew these together and voila, a rag quilt in the making.
Then all that snipping, Oi!
I will be listing this in my finish along post too.
I am excited to be able to bust out some new WIP's and finish up some older ones.
Will you be joining me??

I don't use layer cakes, or charm packs often. Love your binding though!
