scrappy sandwiches is finished

I was able to quilt an older UFO in July and I just finished the binding. I made the shirt blocks in 2020 with an overly large bag of shirt crumbs and strings. I do love strings and crumbs and recycled shirt fabrics. I haven't made anything this year with strings and crumbs in an attempt to finish ufos- I sure do miss it. I finished the  blocks in 2021 and I added borders that year . I believe it is a free pattern on quiltville called string x

61 x 74 = 14 yards

My quilt infatuation

shirt sandwiches

I made shirt strings a while back aiming for a string x quilt for leftover pieces of shirts. This weekend I spent some time cutting fabric for the sides.

It is fun to think that there are no two alike. I didn't use a foundation. I just sewed strips into bigger pieces and trimmed to the size I wanted. I used 3 1/2 x 10 1/2.

I cut the strips 1 1/2 x 10 1/2. I am making a 7 x 9 setting.

This project is one step closer, but, not part of my goal list, yet.

shirt strings

What do you do when making a block makes more small scraps?

Start a new quilt. I randomly sewed small pieces and strings together to make slabs of shirt fabric. I really didn't have a plan.. yet

Then, I remembered Bonnie Hunter's free string x pattern, and a version that I liked the colors. I started cutting my slabs into 3 1/2 x 10 1/2 rectangles.

I am on my way to using up all my bits and pieces... LOL that's a joke, of course.  I won't even see a dent. I am really on my way to making a big mess. But, it is so satisfying.
