SCRAP HAPPY DAY!!!! Solen skiner och våren är på väg!!! Den 15:e varje månad firar min vän Kate från Australien och jag Scrap Happy Day. Dagen då vi visar upp vad vi gör med våra scraps, vi som har så svårt för att slänga minsta tygbit. Vi är inte ensamma. Längre ner på sidan hittar du en lista över bloggare, som gärna visar upp sina projekt. De kanske inte visar scraps täcken just denna gång, men de är ändå värda ett besök, tycker jag! Vill du vara med så skriv så i kommentaren eller kontakta Kate!
SCRAP HAPPY DAY!!! The sun is shining and spring is almost here!! The 15th every month my friend Kate from Australia and I celebrate Scrap Happy Day. The day when we show you what we are doing with our scraps. We belong to a number of people that can´t throw away the tiniest piece of fabrics and we are not alone. Scroll down and you will find a list with links to bloggers who also work with scraps. They are maybe not writing about scraps this time, but they are worth visiting anyhow! Do you want to join us, just say so in the comment or contact Kate!
Bland det sista jag gör när jag sytt ett täcke, är att sy på en kant. På norska kallar man den för Lukkekant, ett jättefint ord, tycker jag. Jag gör mina lukkekanter 2 1/4″ breda och sedan viker och stryker jag dem längs med. Oftast får jag en lång bit över och jag har haft många funderingar över vad jag ska göra med dessa bitar.
Among the last thing to do before finishing a quilt is to sew the binding. In Norway they call them Lukkekanter which is a very nice word I think. I cut my bindings 2 1/4″ and then I fold and iron them. I always get leftovers and I been thinking what to do with them.
På Instagram har det senaste veckorna varit populärt att sy Blockhus rutor och plötsligt visste jag hur jag skulle använda mina lukkekants scraps! Jag skar dem en inch breda och på så sätt fick jag bort vikningen som är så svår att stryka bort. Sedan syr jag blockhusrutor av dem. Rutorna blir ganska stora, 10 varv med remsor. Jag har även gått på jakt i mina scrapväskor för att hitta längre remsor!
On Instagram it has been popular these last weeks to sew Log Cabin Blocks and suddenly I know exactly what to do with my binding scraps! I cut them one inch wide and got rid of the folded part, which is a bit hard to flatten. Now I´m making log cabin blocks from the scraps. I´m making rather big blocks, 10 rows of strings. I have also been searching through my scrap bags to find strings a bit longer!

I played with much larger scraps this month, but I need to follow your example and use up all the smaller pieces

What a great idea, and your log cabin blocks look beautiful, so colourful! I must admit, I don’t throw leftover binding away either, but usually I don’t have very much left, certainly not enough to do something like this!
GillaGilla
Right now I´m using string scraps. I just can´t stop making these blocks 🙂
GillaGilla
And what a good thing that will be for your scrap collection – you’re making space for more!
GillaGilla
Yes, there´s always room for more 🙂

Fantastiske blokker. Jeg hadde min scrappy bloggpost på lørdag. God påske!
GillaGilla
Tack!

the blocks are beautiful, wonderful colours. I love Log cabin patterns, as a weaver I have woven a pattern known as log cabin many times. As a child my mother lived in a real log cabin in northern cabin.

Fantastic! I also love this block!

Lovely colourful blocks.

Thank you!

Wonderfully colorful blocks! You’re log cabin quilt will be a beauty when you’re done with it.
GillaGilla
Thank you!

Or you could make folded log cabin blocks! (maybe; I’ve never made one so I’m not exactly sure how it’s done) Either way this is a brilliant way to repurpose binding leftovers!

Thank you!
