Have you heard of \u00a0scrap vomit or technicolour yawn quilts? Katy from I’m a Ginger Monkey (I know, I know) has a great tutorial<\/a> on her blog. I have been wanting to make a scrap vomit quilt literally from the second I saw a picture of her first one. However, I don’t really have the time or the scraps to start on it yet. I have been cutting all my scraps and some truly ugly fabric into 2,5″ squares for a while now but with 49 squares in each block I still have a long way to go. The solution?<\/p>\n

Make a pincushion from Block B.<\/p>\n

Now if I had made the block using 2,5″ squares this pincushion would have ended up the size of a small planet. Not very practical. So instead I made it with 1″ squares. Crazy? Yes, but I was nervous as Aron, our lovely 11 year old dog was at the vet’s today to get his teeth cleaned and a few biopsies from some lumps. I really needed to focus on something else and this pincushion did the trick.<\/p>\n

There are some fun fabrics in there: an easter egg, an elephant, gloves, a ladybird, a radish, strawberries, a bird, a guitar and a lamb. Not easy to see but you might just get a glimpse of them here and there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the back I used some sheep.<\/p>\n

If you like this pincushion go check out the scrap vomit appreciation society<\/a>\u00a0group’s photo pool on flickr. Who knows, you might want to have a go yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
