What Would You Do?

by Nicole

I’m so glad that I went to the Triangle Modern Quilt Guild’s sew-in yesterday.

While I was there, I quilted circles on the sewing machine cover. I’m almost done with the quilting. Here’s a peek at one of the blocks.

Not only did I get to hang out with other quilters and get some sewing done, I also got some free fabric! How cool is that?!?

John, of Quilt Dad, stopped by to share a stash of scraps he received of the Joy collection by Kate Spain. I took home a big bag.

Joy fabric

It really is cute Christmas fabric of little trees, snowflakes, and ornaments. I have no idea what I will do with it. Maybe a quilt, maybe a table runner. I’m open to suggestions.

What would you do with all this fabric?

Love the circle quilting on the square piecing!
Also love the bag of scraps of the Joy collection you got, very nice fabric it seems! A small quilt looks like a good idea, maybe a wall hanging? Although the table runner sounds good too, for Christmas decor.

a tree skirt would be awesome. I have a couple of patterns that use scraps and strings.

Love that circle quilting ! With those scraps I would make a table runner and some table toppings. Have fun, can't wait to see what you do with them.

Great quilting!
Gasp you got to meet Quilt Dad!! Plus get some free fabric…If I were you I'd put it into an envelope and post it to your dear friend Cherie!

Ok I'm kidding! A table runner sounds like a great idea! =D

That circle quilting looks amazing! Those scraps are pretty too. I'd make a mini quilt with some scrappy happy Christmas stars!
