I'm still plodding along with the batting scraps. I used up three bobbins of thread sewing them together so far! I've mostly got small amounts left now that I use to make Memory quilts for stillborn babies at Sunshine hospital, Victoria. Here are a few of the ones I've made over the years. Sometimes they're orphan blocks or scraps I'm trying to use up. I try to make something nice in the hope that the babies' parents get a little comfort out of them.
This bird was done during an appliqué and stitchery class I did once.
I used up tiny scraps of fabric to make these hexi flowers.
More scraps.
Scraps of fabric leftover from a larger Dresden Plate quilt.
This was a block from a BOM I didn't complete.
I've made hundreds of little quilts and unfortunately, there's need for more all the time. These quilts measure approximately 12 x 14 inches depending on the fabric I have. As you can see, they're all very different. The hospital has the parents choose the quilt they would like so I try to make sure there's a selection of different designs.
