Wash Away Plastic And Fabric Mincing: Part 2.

Step 3. Here we see the fabric scraps sandwiched between two layers of Wash Away Plastic, pinned and hooped ready to be free motioned machined.

Step 4. The finished work, note how the machine stitches overlap, that ensures that all the pieces hold together once the plastic is washed away in warm water.

Scraps From A Thimbleberries Quilt

This scrap quilt was made from scraps of a Thimbleberries Quilt l made in 2000. I luv the combination of these colours , they are of a tea washed appearance. The outer boarders are just straight cut fabrics, the next series of boarders are blocks constructed of two parallel pieces that then have a boarder placed around them. The inner aspect of this quilt is rows of small squares of fabric, alternating rows of thin and then wider. A design that just developed and grew of its own accord. A ture scrap quilt.
