Loving those IKEA scraps

Now that the softies are done I am starting on blocks for Quilts for Queensland which is being organised by the supermum Corrie from Retromummy.

 
I'm just using scraps from my stash, all IKEA fabrics.
Every time I work with these I get so excited, much more so than if I had whole pieces.
Corrie would like blocks of any kind so long as the finished piece is 12 i/2 inches. 
You can find more details on her blog.

  2. Wow I bought a stack of Ikea remnants the other week, it was like a pot of gold! The red curtain was made into a beautiful dress for my daughter, and I have some of that bird pattern fabric too.
