In the meantime, I was left with with metres of 1.5" strips of reproduction fabric and no more storage space in the cupboard. The choice was ' tidy up or continue sewing'. Not a hard decision, really.
Inspired by this antique quilt owned by Gai
and by a front cover quilt from Kathie at Inspired by Antique Quilts I sewed and cut and pieced and trimmed to make these
which go together like this:
I thought the new needle required some more running in, so with the short strips too small for the rail fence blocks I am making more of these:
I have never actually eaten "Bubble and Squeak" but I understand it is a made from leftovers. That describes this quilt to a T.

I just found your blog tonight and I really do like the scrappy look of your quilts. I will be checking back regularly.
Ooooo love the quilt Liz and good for you to keep on sewing!! My family always called leftover night "Dad's Goulash" and it was always surprisingly good :0)

The rail blocks look so GOOD together! Good choice, Liz! Much better show for your time than a tidy session. ;D
Love your blocks and the fabrics!
This is going to be a beautiful scrappy quilt, and your sewing storage stays neat...a win win situation.
Happy Stitching,
Cheri
