I was over at Tim’s the other day for an impromptu Sew Day. Yes, I have a million holiday related things on my to do list, but who cares? It’s sewing! How could I say no?<\/p>\r\n

He was tidying up after finishing a couple of quilts while I cut out more bags that will be gifts. In the process, he found a lot of scraps.<\/p>\r\n

He described creating “chips” to me. This is a method to use up scraps. It is based on strips and called Stashbuster #7<\/a> on the Just Get It Done<\/a> Patterns page. He created some ‘chips’ while I was there. (photo, left) . The process went pretty fast, because he found pieces with straight edges and sewed them together. Like everyone, Tim has a palette, so with a little juggling of fabrics, his strip sets went together well.<\/p>\r\n

He sent me a photo the next day with a few more chips. I think he is close to having enough for a baby quilt. I don’t have a good sense of the sizes, so it is hard to tell.<\/p>\r\n

I think this process can be done as leaders and enders while you are working on something else.<\/p>\r\n

What I noticed about the Just Get It Done<\/a> Patterns page is that there is a pattern as well as a video AND a coloring page. Perhaps you just want to color and relax that way? Great idea.<\/p>\r\n

Tim commented “I sew the pieces together and trim them to 1.75 x 4. [To do that,] … I measure 1.5 from the seam and trim before I open and iron.  More accurate.” This is interesting. I never thought of measuring before<\/em> I opened and pressed the strip sets. Interesting. I’ll definitely try it when I made one of these quilts.<\/p>\r\n

This might be the perfect project when you are busy or can’t concentrate on something complicated. It looks complicated, however, so it satisfying.<\/p>\r\n

Tim showed me the finished version he made back in 2019 or so for friends.<\/p>\r\n

I like the addition of the squares. It breaks up the rectangles.<\/p>\r\n

This is the great thing about being a member of a guild. As much as I try, I can’t watch every video or see every pattern. Having quilt friends do some of the work is a boon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
