Trudy telling about making scrappy blocks

Trudy cuts her scraps into 10", 5" and 2 1/2" strips, to make her scrappy quilts.

Trudy

Linda made this scrappy quilt using 7.5", 5.5" and 3 1/2" blocks.  She layered them on top of each other and zig-zagged around edges. (a type of applique) Then cut out the excess from the back. After layering multiple times, she cut the block into fourths and sewed them together again.... too cute.

We ended our meeting with our Chinese Auction.
You may have noticed the tables in the background of these photos.
They are covered with all kinds of amazing treasures donated by members of the club.  Club members purchased 5 tickets for one dollar, put their names on tickets and dropped them in the paper bag in front of the items they hoped to win. A ticket was drawn and winner announced! 
 Lots of fun....  Lots of good stuff donated.
