I did groom my scrappy green Trip Around the World quilt for a trip to the long-arm quilter. Grooming involves a last press of all the seams, as well as trimming stray threads and using the lint roller to pick up pet hairs and more stray threads - probably my least favorite quilting activity.
I knew we would be heading for our camp this weekend, so I cast about for an RSC project that needed work. I remembered my Scrap Jar Stars are in various states of assembly: some stars are complete, others are just parts.
I scooped up all my parts and pieces, plus background fabric. I also have a bag of random 2" squares in all colors that can be used for the corner pieces.
So, my goal for this weekend is to finish up the Scrap Jar Stars and maybe start assembling them. I have two star blocks for most of this year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors, so they should make a decent-sized quilt.
I'm linking up with the other Rainbow Scrappers today where more scrappy fun can be found!
Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteLovely scrap stars Angie. I have been fighting fires all week, so like you, little time to sit at the machine.
ReplyDeleteLove these stars .... Like that grooming term a lot! I tame mine when they return home, removing the excess backing and batting to reveal a quilt ready for binding.
