For small break projects I now have eighteen of these quilt kit bundles with which to play. Because they didn't come with instructions I can make them into whatever I want, which is fun. It's also challenging, because I now have to choose or design a quilted project for each bundle.
I decided to start with this novelty bakery print bundle last month. I want to make things I'll actually use, so I thought this kit would make a nice quilted plate cover to keep my bread and biscuits warm, and double as a table pad for hot dishes. Since I didn't have a lot of fabric to work with (almost all of the kits are mostly scrap pieces) I thought simple framed blocks with a large center square would showcase the bakery print.
It's tricky to work with different lengths and widths of fabric to make uniform patchwork blocks. I got six 6" blocks out of the bakery print, and then cut everything else in widths that I could get to work with those blocks. It's best to measure all your scraps and do the math before you cut so you don't run short.
My six pieced framed blocks.
I neglected to take photos of the pinning and embroidery, so we'll skip to the finished quilt. I think it turned out well, considering.
