Thrifty Thursday

Wow this week went fast! I haven't been out much in the last week or so, but I did go to a favorite thrift store on my way home from work on Monday and found this vintage Pyrex bowl to add to my collection:

I had a couple of snowflake oven dishes in this color and it matches them perfectly & they were my favorites in the collection so I am thrilled to find another piece that color!

The rest of the week was spent sewing blocks for this quilt which I have just finished in time for this blog post. This QAYG quilt is entirely made up of scraps! Even the batting and backing were scraps!!!! I was undecided how big this quilt would be until I started to run out of scrappy strips for it after doing 30 blocks:

So it ended up being 5 foot by 6 foot which is by far the biggest quilt I have made yet:

I will try to get some better photos tomorrow but I didn't finish this one until 6.30pm so it is a little dark for photography now.

So I did some thrifty quilting and some thrift shopping this week and tomorrow I have my herringbone WIP to work on now that this scrap quilt has given me plenty of practice at this QAYG method.

Quilting is an expensive hobby. How have you been thrifty lately to allow you to afford this hobby? Have you; shopped in a thrift store, bought 'on sale' or discounted fabrics, reused fabric from clothes etc?
