During one of my clear outs (this is an ongoing project for sure) I found some quilt blocks I first made but never used in the back of this quilt. The blocks got quilted and almost repurposed into pillow tops for Roan’s room. I then scratched the project and shoved them away again.
They have finally resurfaced AND repurposed!
Third time’s the charm, and to think I almost just threw them out.
I got the idea when I started playing with the samples for my free-motion quilting nested basket class coming up.
I figure it’s time to start thinking about gifts. That’s 6 down and a little more space for those other unfinished projects that need some time to percolate. I’m thinking they are a perfect gift for teachers.

p.s. one spot left in Thursday’s Hexagons by Machine class.
They’re awesome! And would look so lovely in my new kitchen…
What a great idea….good job you saved them 🙂
Oh, yes! Re-purposing at it’s best and quite charming as well!
Great idea!! I think I will dig out my box of left over blocks and see what I can do! Thanks.
They look great. I have been using leftover blocks for pillows lately but this is an awesome idea!!!
This is so funny: I feel the same way, so psyched to have all these buckets around! Yours look great, hope your class is fun!
Thanks to you it will be. Everyone loved looking through your book in my fmq class last night.
Cute baskets!
The hexagon quilt looks great too!
