Using up leftovers.....


This weekend I played with some left over fabrics .....

I made this cute hedgehog quilt in 2018 for youngest grandiegirl who was going to visit us and needed a big bed quilt... Pattern by Melly and Me called Happy Hedgehogs.


Michelle had gifted me some very sweet hedgehog fabric which you can see more clearly here....


 and I had some of Emma Jean Jansen "Eureka" fabric which I used for the big flowers and backgrounds.

I never did take a picture of the finished quilt but it lives in the UK now where we have spotted real life hedgehogs (sniffle sniffle)

Anyway, as you know I like to use up as much of my precious favourite fabrics as I can.  I first saw Star Pop on Raewyn's blog.

Star Pop is by Emily Dennis

Chopped up the left over fabrics, purchased some plain fabric for the stars and this weekend I got to sew sew sew.  I made the small throw size (42 blocks required) which finishes at 60 x 52".   I think I will used this pattern again....


I'm leaving it at that size ... binding is made and ready with it....


Righto, Gotto Go..... today I am going to try and tame some little scraps .... that should be a challenge

Have a great weekend.......

I remember the cute Hedgehog quilt you made…
Really lovely Star quilt you’ve made with the left overs…
Clever to have the binding ready to pop on when you’ve quilted it….
