SATURDAY PLAYTIME

 
Here is my first all crumb block
"Spring Rains".
(click to enlarge).

This took four days to make...
crumbs are not a fast project
but,  
for me, 
a really fun and satisfying
way to sew...

I find it so interesting to rifle through
that giant scrap bag and
begin to pull out fabrics that
"call my name"...

And

then

slowly, they all seem to
come together...

A whole lot of cutting, trimming
and sewing:
repeat and 
repeat and 
repeat again..

The lovely Iris fabric
(featured in 3 places) 
was the biggest and last 
piece left...
just a couple
narrow string pieces
are still in the bag....

I have no definite plans for this
little mini piece...
we shall see what happens 
during my next 
playtime..
Won't it be fun to quilt???
************************
And in a similar-- but different
vein...
I made
what I call a 
"FUNFETTI"
block...
↧↧↧↧
Capturing those tiny snips and
slivers of fabric all encapsulated
in white on white chunks...

I think I am trying to 👀 
just how small
I can go....

[See that teeny-tiny little sliver
of green on the middle left?
{click it}
am so totally smitten 
with that].

Call me CRAZEE and
you wouldn't be wrong.
  
I find this so rewarding
and relaxing...

Again, not a fast process; 
that one block
took about 4 hours
to make...and I had
the  tiny pieces 
all saved...

I hope you enjoyed this little peek 
into my Saturday playtime
with my tiniest scraps...

Thank you for following my
sewing journeys...
I love to read and 
answer all of your
comments ...
