Today I got out the fabrics I had cut in November?  October? for Scrap in the Box, this year’s Scrapitude mystery quilt by Charlotte.  Many of us #Twilters on Twitter are doing this.  You can certainly join in- this is only the first clue.

There were teeny, tiny pieces to put together, but I got them pieced in a few hours, so now I’m waiting to see what everyone elses looks like, and for next month’s clue.

Some of the sale fabrics I bought were these two adorable elephant prints.  What’s so cute about elephants?  I don’t know, but I had a great time sewing up these two baby quilts.

The primary colored one is just the whole fabric (I did a bit of piecing on the back), but it was good practice free motion quilting it,

and I finished with a special binding.

The teal elephants are a brushed cotton/linen blend, my first time using one.

Very soft, and great with the Kona solids. I used the walking foot and a serpentine machine stitch in variegated teal/aqua thread, and it gave it great texture and added interest to the plain blocks.  I bound it with the trimmings from the back.

Now what? I’m cleaning the studio, doing some bookkeeping, and thinking about a wintery quilt. What are you making?
