Remember Friday's post?
I wanted to experiment with the quilt as you go technique and do a bit of scrap busting at the same time.
It started like this...
...and ended like this.
Here's how it went.
I first cut and laid my strips down. I then printed out copies of the designs and placed them where I wanted them to go.
Next, I layered the back fabric and batting and began to sew my strips using the quilt as you go method.
Very easy.
Once the strips were all sewn down, I began my embroidery.
Come on - can these ants get any cuter?
Of course, what's a picnic without watermelon...
I did like the quilt as you go method, but I had a bit of an issue with my fabric puckering around my embroidery designs due to the thickness of the batting and the two layers of fabric.
Even at that...
I still think it turned out pretty cute!
Whatcha think?
Have a great Monday everyone!

Adorable! Thank you for linking up at TGIFF.
Do you have a pattern for this? I'd love to have it!
Shelly, You are a "no-reply" blogger so I hope you are checking back in on this post for your answer. No, I did not have a pattern. I just made it up as I went. Sorry
