I knew those apple cores I found in the treasure drawer last night were going to be hard to resist. Really, really hard to resist. At first I thought I could limit myself to sorting them into dark and medium/light groups. Nope, I wanted to play with them some more.
So then I stitched together six of them. This is going to be such fun! Because of the stitching lines and matching points printed on the fabrics, it is a very quick stitch. I had these six together in no time. Lots of curved piecing ahead of me with this little project.
I’m grading the seams as I finish adding each piece. A quick press with the iron and they’re ready for some more to be added to the mix. But now I’m going to try to stick with a couple of other projects I already have on the go, the most pressing being the mystery quilt. But oh, these apple cores are tempting! Right now the piece measures approximately 5″ x 7″.
Seems Words With Kitty Friends wasn’t enough. Now Baxter’s playing in the Kitty Kryptic Krossword Kontest!
I love the look on his face in this shot.

I have no idea how I thought the apple cores would be used, but I never thought of the being pieced like that. They look great though. They’d look really good done in a woven look too I think (using colour/fabric to make them look woven)

I love the look of scrappy apple core quilts, and yours is off to a good start! Baxter, I don’t see “Cappy” on your word list…….

And just think, there may be more hidden treasures in those drawers if you dive into them again!
Baxter looks like he is in total control of the place.

These are looking good all sewn together! hehehe, you may not be able to put them down for a while. They are a nice diversion though.

These are intriguing; and on my list for the future . . . I like Nic’s idea that one could make the quilt look woven by how one uses the fabrics. I weave, too, although I don’t have room for a loom at present (and am more a beginner than anything). So I like the cross-over of ideas. ~ Linne

Looking good Cathi!!~ I love the scrappy look. I am working on a quilt now, where when I get to a certain point, I am putting the pieces in a bag and shaking it up… want a good “mix”. Love scrappy in some quilts.
