See that lovely stack of scraps at the top, that is why I do not really like foundation piecing. I always get my pieces too big and it wastes so much fabric! I was being very careful, I thought, and still there are tons of scraps, too small to save. I saved a lot of tiny pieces too. Thank goodness I have some red scraps on the way from SoScrappy! :)
But, the triangles are GORGEOUS! And, I know this is going to be a FABULOUS Quilt!
Also, Lizzie has had a major overhaul and is sewing beautifully again. I was told there should be no more problems! Now I can finish a few Christmas presents and give them to the recipients as New Year's Presents, which are just as nice.
My husband has to go back to work tomorrow and I only have another week off. How on earth am I going to be able to finish like 100 quilts in that short of time??? Looks like I need to be making a plan and setting some goals for 2012...
Yes foundation piecing does make for some crumbs....but when making a Bonnie quilt we are getting rid of little scraps that we wouldn't otherwise use in anything at all. Save all the crumbs and use them to stuff a pillow.
