Making Fabric For New Quilt


The Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge for 2019, hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, is right around the corner.  This is Sarah's 9th year .... with participants growing in numbers.  

I have the cutest little pattern for the challenge this year...so it is time to make some fabric, using the Mile-A-Minute/M-A-M method. The pattern requires several 6 1/2" Blocks and 4" Units (to make HST's later trimmed to 3 1/2").  Not to mention...this will help tame the scrap stash.

The pattern will remain under wraps for now .... however, if you are "making fabric" from your scraps, I just may have a idea for you.  More hints will come as we get closer to March 10th (the kick-off date of H2H).  




I also found this cute little basket at the Dollar Store, to keep next to my sewing machine.  As I continue sewing on other projects, I will keep making fabric from the basket.

  1. I do make fabric from tiny scraps. As you, I keep a basket close to the sewing machine. When I need mindless sewing after a long day at work, I just dig into the basket and have some fun. ;^)

  2. I have been making crumb blocks for the past couple of months. I think it is fun that things go in "cycles" with quilters all starting the same types of things at once. Almost like a telepathic communication that we did not know was happening! LOL

    I am using my crumb blocks as they are with sashing for a quilt top. . .but I am interested in seeing what your design looks like.

    Thank you for sharing.
