I have completed a couple of scrappy baby quilts recently. They are both finished at 45 inches square and will be given to the guild's Community Quilt programme which gives quilts to hospitals, nursing homes, hostels and shelters. I hope that the babies who get to snuggle in these find them bright and happy.
Both of them were completed on my Singer 306 machine, a workhorse which is the same age as myself! The top quilt was started on my 401 but the bobbin winding mechanism stopped working after a while so I swapped it over to the older machine. I hope I can get the 401 to work again because it is a lovely machine too.
Now that I am done with these, I am thinking of 'using the good fabric" for a sampler quilt which I will do as a 'quilt as you go" quilt. Right now I am falling down internet rabbit holes, finding inspiration and ideas about how to make a sampler quilt, which I have never actually done before.
