On the design wall today is my version of Pam Buda's Pocket Patchwork called Tucker. Most of the fabrics in this little quilt are scraps from a block sampler quilt that I finished at the beginning of the year.
As you can see, I made a few little alterations to the original design. First, I removed the "too bright" blue square that was on the right of the star in my version of step #2. I just couldn't stop seeing that square in the overall layout, so it had to go!
Then I put the 'scrap love' fusible applique section at the top. The idea just came to my mind when I saw the final layout. When I quilt this little wallhanging, I will stitch around the edges of the shapes to fasten them more securely.
I used up leftover HST's to make most of the flying geese blocks. And I added an extra border of little squares all the way around the whole thing because I had so many bits leftover.I will try to finish this in time for the quilt parade on Dec. 15th.

Precious, Kathy. Mine is still at stage 2. I'm still saying it. I like how you modified it to suit you.

ReplyDeleteOh this is so neat! Love the word Scrap on top--hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Great idea to add the word!
ReplyDeleteI love your design change to this little piece. I am thinking of making mine a little 'welcome' hanger
ReplyDeleteClever little addition to the top. I like the added row of blocks, too (having done that with mine as well).
ReplyDeleteAre you using regular batting, or flannel?
I like the mix , this may be something I try thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat version. I love the addition of the scrap applique
ReplyDeleteVery cute and clever!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh! This is a very cute version of the project!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you have in your squares - rich and warm but not too heavy or staid looking - lovely.
ReplyDeleteCute, Kathy! Mine is still in the cut squares stage, LOL!! It is a busy time for me, but I love the Tucker idea and will be making one soon. I have the perfect spot for it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I really like that border with the flying geese and it's nicely complemented by the top applique border.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! You really personalized this little project to perfection!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I think I first heard about this little sew a long here on your blog. I too have made a little " Tucker" though I have modified the design to make it work for me. If you would like to see it I have made a post showing it here. Glad to have joined in on the fun. Thanks for sharing. This is the second thing I have made using Pam's patterns. Love them both : )
