Table Scraps Challenge for April

 It was touch and go but I finished the binding on the table scraps challenge late last night, just in time for Joy's linkup!

I started out the month with these extra basket blocks and a few strips of the background fabric.

They got sewed into this.

I decided to hand quilt it. Someone remind me maybe to just machine quilt it next time! I was a little worried about finishing it in time but some dedicated time got it done.

I did have help along the way with marking some of the sewing lines and supervision by the cats.



For a finish!



Linking up with the Table Scrap Challenge and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge where April was light and bright blues.

I love that you hand quilted it! I always think I will learn to do that. Or just jump in and try it! But I have a couple of projects languishing in the closet. I’m so slow! It hurts my hand holding a hoop and I never like the way it looks when I’m doing it! I know...practice, practice and practice!
