 Sewing My Stash Scrap Quilt #19 - Scrap Bag

I love making scrap quilts. It always amazes me how the scraps of fabrics from various quilt projects can all come together into an amazing quilt top all on its own.

I have a Joann's bag under my sewing table that I put scrap fabrics in. When the bag gets full I dump it out and work on organizing all of the pieces. I sort the scraps by size, 2 inch strips, 2.5 inch strips ... and so on.

This scrap bag ended up having a lot of 2 inch strips, which make wonderful log cabin blocks.

So that is exactly what I decided to do ... make log cabin blocks. I ended up with 31, 9 inch square log cabin blocks.

I popped a quilt label on one of the blocks before piecing the 6 rows of 5 blocks each.

These pieces were leftover so I made a 2 inch strip scrappy jelly roll. I may use it as a border around this little scrap quilt.

I'm still considering using the leftover scrappy jelly roll has the border on this quilt, so the size may change. Regardless, this little quilt will become a car quilt. It's the perfect lap size.
