* loopy bow
Posted on June 20th, 2007 by maitreya. Filed under Sewing/Fabric Crafts.
I made Becket a quilt for her baby shower. It’s in yellows and grays, and I’m working on a tutorial for the crazy way I pieced it. It’s revolutionary, I tell you. Anyway, that’ll have to wait because I didn’t get a good photo of it before the shower. But, I can show you what I did with the leftover trimmings. When I was cutting the strips to size, I ended up with a pile of long narrow pieces. So I looped each one up kind of loosely into a flower shape, sewed them together through the center, added a tassel, and insta-gift-bow which was also a hint about the present.

How beautiful!
I like to wrap all of my gifts in brown paper, and embellish with satin ribbons and other “toppings”… this would be a fantasitc addition!

Oh, aren’t you too brilliant! No waste, the recipient gets a little hint, and no last minute trip to the store (since I’d probably still be working on the quilt the day of the shower). Can’t wait to see your revolutionary piecing, too…

the grays are my most coveted fabric color. Can’t wait to see it!

That is an awesome idea. I will definitely use it, that is if my boyfriend’s kids don’t get to the scraps first.
