Scrappy Strips


A couple of years ago, I got a box filled with little pieces of fabrics from my neighbor. She used to be a colour therapist, but quit her job and had all these fabrics in every colour you can imagine. The pieces were all 10x5 cm, in very different kinds of fabric: velvet, cotton, satin, wool, tweed, you name it!
Most of the fabrics were sorted, but on top of the box was a pile in all colours.

This pile I used to make a top, by sewing 3 strips together, and then these blocks.

This top has been lying on the shelves for a long time, because I didn’t really know what to do with it. Until today.

I quilted the top quite tight, because it will be used quite intense.

I added a back:

And after sewing front and back together with a binding and a zipper I had:

A new pillow for Fleur!
