I've been practicing with HST to make a cushion cover. I thought to use up some dressmaking scraps from years ago but am not sure I like what I've made. It's only for a cushion in my sewing room so no big deal but even so it won't be my favourite.

@Bjay Any chance you could cut out a neat square around the burn and find an off cut to replace it with …… or swap it with a cut out from a hidden corner of the room?

[Silver Rose]

Oh @Bjay 

[So Chic]

@Bjay   I feel for you as I did the same on our carpet and everyone remarked on it as they walked into the room

@Bjay   

I cut out the backing and wadding strips from the measurements it should be with 8" (finished) blocks and it's short by a couple of inches    It is scrappy and wonkey so I'll do the QAYG to within a couple of inches of the end and then add an extra horizontal strip of backing  to make up the difference.  Squeezing enough wadding from the excess will be a challenge but I am determined not to buy anything towards this project.

Thanks lovely people.

I have ordered a small rug to hide it.

That's one thing sorted from yesterday

Got my first scrap quilt sandwiched today. I managed to use 2 left over bits of fleece on the back : a central section with yellow and grey elephant pattern and 2 strips of pale blue fleece down each side. I made it with a few centimetres to spare.
Also found a square of wadding, which was only slightly bigger than the top,  so a great use of left overs, which seems appropriate for a scrap quilt. I then started quilting it , but have stopped now to start making dinner. I’ll post a pic when it’s finished and ready for Project Linus.

Ooooh, I love that border fabric 

[Bjay]

Thank you @realale that fabric is in fact sashing.
It was the backing of the Kaffe Fasset quilt I made
 I'm hoping I have enough fir the border but I very much doubt it

It’s such a cold horrible morning here, that I sat down under a cosy quilt to hand sew the binding on my scrap quilt, so here it is all ready to send to Project Linus. It doesn’t look square even though it is, must have taken the photo at a slight angle.

That looks good.   I do like striped bindings.
