heartstrings

This is what I am currently working on. I'm trying to do the technique where the same color makes one block but i'm not sure if that was the best idea. I don't think I have enough scraps to do that.
I guess I will keep going till I run out. and I used linen for the sashing because I had soooo much of it. not sure that was the right choice but I'm trying not to buy more fabric so i just went with what I had.  Anywho, I will continue to post the progress.

cup cozy

I always freeze my waterbottles and it was a mess when the water would melt and the outside would leave a trail of water all over my desk so I would always have to wrap it up with a napkin so I had these scraps laying around and decided to quilt and put velcro on it to hold it in place.

This one measures 12.4 x 3". If I were to do it again I would make it 4" wide but this is just what I had laying around.

Mine is kinda simple but you can put ric rac on it or a flower or I even think using a button rather than velcro would cuter but believe it or not....I still don't know how to attach a button with my machine!  and I don't really want to do it by hand.
Anyway, it does it's job!
