Stars 'n Stripes 'n Scraps Quilt (queen size--just finished Sun 3/13/16) Answering the question--what to do with all those lovely fabric scraps? I'm still pecking away at my fabric scrap piles, building as many scrappy queen size quilts as I can by May, then I'll switch to building purses, baby quilts, table runners, and pot holders. I am full speed in my commitment to reduce 3 big bins of scraps, mostly 2.5" strips. I have a fourth bin full of 1.5" strips - and here's what those 1.5" strips made in the past: a decorative pocket for a soft luggage, this travel bag is 22 x 22. and I make other soft luggage out of upholstery material--oh yeah, got a big bin full of upholstery material scraps. Here are a couple pics of the soft luggage the small cotton fabric scraps I build these . . . little padded pouches with metal swivel clasp to carry cell phone or eye glasses. and rope baskets that are cool seriously, it takes a full day to make one of these. I wrap fabric strips around 1/4" cotton clothesline rope to create a disc (bottom of the basket), then I start nudging the disc upwards with my left hand to build the wall while I stitch. A zig zag stitch holds firmly. Ok, ok back to photos of current quilt Stars 'n Stripes 'n Scraps . . . my signature free hand edge to edge quilting "Feather Bouquet" I confess, even after doing the last three quilts--I made only a dent in the scrap piles. Ah, oh well. I'll keep sewing 'n sewing. I'm sure I mentioned one more scrap pile of 1" wide or less strips and short lengths?? I give them to my friend Jerry who uses all the colorful bits in beautiful rag rugs he looms. They are gorgeous! Here's the half way point of long arm quilting process. Lots of color loading quilt (floating quilt) After removing the quilt from the frame, I cut away excess batting and backing, square the quilt, sew 400+ inches of fabric binding, install the binding, then sit for 5-6 hours turning the binding and hand stitch. It's not complicated work. Its time consuming, but relaxing. I'll drop in more photos later. Right now, I'm going to take a nap. Talk to you later.

It takes just 3 hours to make and we're obsessed with the outcome!
Some of you have asked how to make the Chunky Rope Baskets that I have blogged about in the past...here is a tutorial that I hope will help reveal some of the mystery of constructing them. This is a completely self taught project...so please forgive me if my instructions are unclear. But I say that to say there's no real rules here...just play with it and have fun. Please let me know if you have any questions...I'm happy to help. First start by purchasing 1" Cotton Cording...listed below. For a basket like the one above...I suggest about 10 yards. Cut a pile of 2 1/2" x width of fabric fabric strips. Cover end of cording as shown. Wrap about 5" of cording...wrap fabric around cording...do not twist cording around fabric. Fold over end of cording so that you start to form a bottom for your basket. An oval will make an oval basket... a round bottom will make a round basket. The bigger the bottom, the bigger the basket. Wrap fabric strip over the top of the cording including the cording that was folded over. Bring the fabric strip up thru the center. Pull the fabric tight towards you, and continue wrapping fabric around cording. I use a wooden chopstick to push the fabric thru the center. Continue wrapping the cording and at 2" intervals (closer together at corners) wrap the fabric around the previous cording and up thru the center of the two cordings. The goal is to make it look like it is knotted at the 2" intervals...it's not really a knot, it's just how it is wrapped. NOTE: You will have to join strips of fabric for this project...you can do this by making 1" slits at the bottom of both ends of the strips and link the strips together. Please let me know if that doesn't make sense and I can take some photos to explain. Continue this until you have the base as big as you want. To start building the sides...stack the cording on top of the previous cording...either straight up and down for steep sides or stack it more gradual for a softer side. When you are ready to end your basket...cut cording at an angle and wrap fabric around end of cording...it takes a bit of finagling...then wrap fabric back thru the previous cording, tie a knot and hide the ends. I was able to find one pattern listed below for this technique at Greenbaum's Quilted Forest...give them a call to place an order...they have free shipping. I notice that the bag is made a little differently in that the 'linked' intervals don't look like knots. I like mine to look like a knot...just preference.
