Scraptastic Tuesday January Linkup



Scraptastic Tuesday



Today is the first Scraptastic Tuesday linkup of 2015!

We still need help in using up those scraps and hope you do too!  So here we are to encourage you in your efforts and indeed my favourite part of this is looking at all the inspiration you provide and the huge range of projects you are working on in a scrappy way!

My own project this week has been to make more progress on my clamshell quilt which has been cut from my healthy collection of charm squares.  

My quilts used to be made from scraps only and I had difficulty cutting into my larger cuts of fabrics.  So I decided to cut charms squares from each new piece of fabric - the balance might have tipped in the other direction now!?

It would be great if I could get the balance just right....

Anyway here is what I started with 


You saw my 'curtains' last week!



And here they are attached to the main panel.....one corner first


And now two






Not that exciting I guess to anyone but me but I have now cut and sorted out the remaining two corners - so who knows next week might have a ta da moment!?

Anyway here are our fantastic sponsors!   


A huge thank you to each of them for the following prizes, which will be awarded randomly:
  • Massdrop - assorted fat quarter pack
And here is where you want to add your links!


An InLinkz Link-up


Now I wonder what Leanne has been up to.....

  9. I love the hand stitching, but I'd still have to draw the stitching line on as I don't think I could judge it as well as you.
