Picking up pieces..

 ..and I mean that literally! I’m back piecing the Smitten Quilt and, as always, I use scraps. I only buy yardage for BBB ( backings, borders, bindings) and stick to fq’s when I go to a quiltshop.

Here’s my scrapbox and in there are SCRAPS! I’m always amazed when I see other ( mostly overseas quilters where quilting fabric is not as expensive) people’s scraps, that in fact, are fq’s or f8’s.

In this treasure box I found just the pieces I needed for the next block.

The Smitten quilt so far:

Hmm……blogger made an odd pic of it, but it s only for my own reference: when a block falls down ( because I’m vacuuming e.g.), I like to have pictures so I can put it all back in the right order.

Piecing the Smitten is a slow process, but hey, I am a slowpoke quilter😜
