Still Playing with Scraps

It was a scrappy weekend! I had some things to do in the house, but I admit I didn't get it all done. In fact, I still need to get the laundry done and get the bathrooms cleaned. I will need to start a load of clothes tonight so I have clean clothes to wear this week! 

I spent a lot of time sewing and got a few things finished or close to finished. I got the other baby quilt pieced from the 2" x 3.5" rectangles.

I actually had to cut some more rectangles to finish it. That wasn't what I wanted to do, but I was motivated to use up what I had. Unfortunately, I cut too many and have some leftovers.

Not too many, but I probably won’t throw them away, so I will have to think of a way to get them used up. Still, it’s two tops from some random scraps. Here's the first one I did between Christmas and New Year's:

I think the one I sewed first has a bigger variety of fabric, but they are both okay. I thought I might have some fabric I could use for borders, but nothing struck my fancy.  I went to Hobby Lobby and found two prints I plan to use. I hope to get the borders on soon. 

I had a bag of scraps I bought at one of the quilt shops that had 64 charm squares of a juvenile print in it, and I decided to see how many baby quilts I could get out of those. Here's what I ended up with:

I didn't have enough of the squares to do the extra border around the second one, but I found something that would work for a wide outer border to make it big enough to be useable. I like the cute little sea creatures in the charm squares, and I'm glad to use it up. There was a lot of light coming through the windows when I took the pictures. The one I took the night before shows up the colors better.

It was taken before I added the outside border.
