Little Ditty Quilts

A lot has been happening in my sewing room this week. I have been playing with a selection of gorgeous fabrics mostly collected out of the scrap bin. Left overs from the basket quilt I have been making with a few more added in. What fun!!!

After making several basket blocks I thought it was time to decide on how to put the quilt together and came up with a traditional on point setting with sashing strips. The boders are yet to be revealed but just so you know I am having loads of fun planning and playing.

While making this quilt I had made quite a pile of scraps, that was what sparked an idea, so with the half square triangles that were left over I started randomly making blocks and came up with this little ditty quilt layout, I added some simple applique for good measure. Just the quilting to go on this one.
