New EPP Work in Progress

Earlier this week I completed my postage stamp tumbler quilt top. So last night I began a new EPP project!
Each year I share a Scrap Satisfaction quilt pattern in my quarterly ezine. Over the course of the year and four issues the pattern is revealed as quilters sew along. For the first time the design is an EPP project this year!
I was determined not to start mine until I had finished my postage stamp tumbler quilt top so I'm a little late to my own party but I'm excited to get caught up! I should still easily finish this project by the end of the year.
I'm sticking to the pink and white palette and using scrappy two inch squares plus a few random pink fat quarters.


Postage Stamp Quilt

Since sharing the finished quilt top for my Postage Stamp Tumbler Quilt yesterday I've had a few people ask why it's called a 'postage stamp' quilt. It's simply because the 3500 finished tumblers are each about the size of a postage stamp. 

The free tumbler PDF is available to download from my website! 

It feels great to have another EPP project ready to baste, quilt and bind!

Postage Stamp Tumbler Quilt Top Finished!!!!

I'll get a better photo some time but couldn't resist getting hubby to hold it up after I'd stitched on the final row this evening! 

3500 tiny scrappy tumblers! 

Ready for basting, quilting and binding!

So it took me 393 days! 
Calculated by: www.timeanddate.com
That's an average of 8.9 tumblers per day. 


100 Patch Scrap Quilt

I made another 100 patch scrappy block yesterday.

So that's 7 blocks so far and there's heaps of fabric squares left. I didn't really expect those couple of piles of 'busy print' mini charm leftovers to make so many blocks!

It's great to de-stash scrappy clutter once in a while with an easy scrap quilt!

I've made several of these in the past but could not find photos of them all. 

I made this in 2020: 

I love the berry sashing and borders!
And this one in 2015:
They are fantastic scrap demolishers.
And I find generally recipients love a scrappy quilt.


BOM Block

We're in the second year of my Eye Spy Adventures BOM. 

This month's block is a puzzle piece!
