Design Wall Monday....

...AND

 the First Finish

for 2014!!

Judy at Patchwork Times is hosting a

scrappy quilt challenge each month

and I am joining in on the fun.

Each month she will give us a different block

to make from scraps.

(Go to the link above for more details.)

Well....

I THOUGHT I could do scrappy...

and quickly realized....

I am a CONTROLLED scrappy quilter!

Pulling pieces out of a bag and sewing

is not for me!

I just cannot do it.

BUT...

I am using my scraps in these blocks.

I have LOTS of batik scraps!

Aren't the colors so happy and fun?

THEN...

A Finish for 2014!!

Last night I finished hand sewing the binding to this quilt.

(While watching Downton Abbey!!)

The Baby Quilt is completed.

To think that I almost stopped making this

after the pinwheels were sewn together.

I am so pleased with how it turned out!

The backing is all recycled men's shirts, too.

The only part that is not made from the recycled shirts 

is the binding,

but I found the perfect match to the sashing!

Do you name all of your quilts?

I have such a difficult time coming up with names

so I tend not to do it.

I do need to add the label to this little one, though.

Visit Judy at Patchwork Times to see what others are working on this week.

Happy Quilting!
