Last weekend I whipped up a quilt for a friend who just had a new baby.
It's all scraps from my scrap bag. I had been wanting to play around with colors and shading/gradient effects for a while, and this was a small scale project around that.
I outlined the rainbow section and the "T" and then stippled the outer, muslin border. I didn't prewash anything and love how much the muslin shrunk up.
I also did a pieced back using up some of the small scraps that I had leftover after cutting the strips on the front. Then I miscut a piece of muslin and, being unwilling to waste anything, added another colored strip to make it all fit. Not sure all the effort was worth it, but hey, fewer scraps for me!
