Color Scrap Quilts

I know I was supposed to be working on the Lola Owl pattern but I ran out of flannel (that is what i use to line the lolas)!  Until I could make it to the fabric store, I started making more of my color scrap baby quilts since my scrap bags were overflowing.  Once I made it to the fabric store, I bought extra flanel to back the quilts and make some owls.  I love how these quilts use up my scraps AND coordinate so well without me having to fret over the combinations!  And I do fret quite a lot about color coordinating:)

First, I made a pink...

I made a tutorial!  I'll post it in the next couple of days.  It's easy and fun!  These 3 quilts will be for sale in my GingercakeSews shop soon.

I created this title on PSE again! I used the same techniques that i wrote about here but also took the time to take the owls out of their original pictures by using the magnetic lasso tool. Sorry if that is too technical sounding but for those of you who have PSE, I hope you will understand! One of the reasons I am working on this...

Scrap Color Baby Quilt Tutorial Hi again! As I mentioned earlier today, what I like about these quilts is the ease of coordinating the colors. In decorating, I love it when a whole room is all blue or green and even though the greens or blues may not be exactly the same, the design works since the basic color carries throughout the room. That is the thinking behind these little quilts too. And, you get to use up a lot of those pesky fabric scraps that are cluttering up your sewing room! Begin by getting out your bag of scraps in your chosen color. Don't...
