Primitive Garden & Improvisational Quilting

This is Block 6 of my Primitive Garden Quilt . . . still a work in progress! It's called Sap Bucket.

 Here are some components left over from the Chevron Baby Quilt I made in February. I just bag these pieces up when I finish a quilt in hopes of doing something with them later . . . Well, now is later!

Hmm, here is a possibility for the squares.  . .

 Lots of little odd triangles. There were no blocks in the quilt like this but the easy technique used gave all these leftovers.

 I began experimenting to see how to put them into a new quilt.

 Another way . . .

 and yet still another.

 Okay, this is a possibility for a strip quilt which I really enjoy doing!

 Just going to line all these up as far as they will go in rows.

 And now it's looking a little unorganized and boring so I think I'll add a little contrasting color - red seems good to me!

 I just happened to have enough red left from the construction quilt a few months ago to make all these 1inch finished strips.

 I've almost used every single piece I had of leftovers

 and here it is quilted - still on the longarm machine.

I used a pantograph I've been wanting to try for a while - Basket Weave - actually gives it more of a contemporary feel. I'll finish this with a red binding soon.
