From my Goodwill bundle and my gifted UFOs fabric bin I pulled these scraps and FQs to make a quilt this summer. I used the Susan Winget chicken floral print on the far right there to make the other color choices, going with a farmstyle theme.
My plan this time is to piece and quilt it on the sewing machine, as in a few years that's probably the only way I'll be able to make quilts. I've already figured out how to bind a quilt entirely on the machine, and I've made a couple of quilts by machine. I thought I should start practicing more now to build my confidence and skills, which is why I've been collecting all this thrifted fabric.
I looked for a free quilt pattern online that would allow me to use the most of the scraps and FQs, and found this one at rileyblakedesigns.com that will probably work best. The chicken wire gray and white print is also a Riley Blake design, so that was a fun coincidence.
