See my previous post for the explanation of Scrappy Sewing with Patty (SSWP).
The first official pattern released was Covered in Adventure. Lucky for me, prior to joining SSWP, I had started a challenge to declutter my sewing area, which included “processing my scraps”. Processing your scraps basically means taking leftover fabric from other projects and cutting it into useful shapes for future use. Rather than having an odd-sized blob that you’re hesitant to use, you cut it down to commonly used sizes and shapes. For me, I started cutting up a lot of my scraps into 2 1/2″ strips. Tons of patterns use 2 1/2″ strips thanks to the popularity of jelly rolls. Plus I use 2 1/2″ strips for my bindings. AND I’ve been making a bunch of “chips”, 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles, for a future scrap quilt.
Then SSWP was announced, including a cutting guide for the upcoming patterns. Lots of various rectangles with 2 1/2″ widths. And of course, the bonus pattern, which I modified to work with 2 1/2″ strips.
That brings us to Covered in Adventure!
All scraps from my 2 1/2″ bin! Including the scrappy binding. I had just enough of the blue for the horizontal rectangles to give it cohesiveness. Scrappy binding of course. And the backing was made from fabric that was given to me some time ago by a family member.
I did my “go to” quilting, which was matchstick straight lines with my walking foot.
Finished size: 60″ x 40″
