Fun Friday ~ Scrappy Border

 

Putting together scraps from making masks to make a quilt border.

This is what I call fun because it's comforting.

Part of keeping my sanity through 2020 without adding calories.

Scrap pieces were cut into 2½ inch strips,

and sewn together.

I had no way of calculating how much of this scrappy fabric to make.

My instinct just kinda tells me.

I had many more scraps to continue.

Really, I couldn't stop.

At this point,

I had to stop for another project,

but on a later day,

I cut it into strips.

My way of measuring for a border is to simply lay the border on the side of the quilt spread out on my cutting table. No actual measuring is done. Why should I measure?

After I cut the piece into 2½ inch strips,

there was enough left for a 6 inch block!

My instinct worked!
