quilt of LEFTOVERS







The whole idea of one of the earlier quilts was to use up scraps and make use of worn out dresses and other clothing. I had loads of left over strips, and squares from the quilt I made for my son's birthday, so I put them to use and made this lap quilt for him... He can keep warm watching football on these cold nights. I changed the pattern a bit, and added an additional small stripe- just to keep it interesting (for me- ha !) I just finished the binding so I posted it to share.



I had soooooooooo many leftovers from this one that I also made a small reversible version which I sent to my daughter, too.... Guess next time I shouldn't get so carried away buying fabric !!
