I'm so glad I decided to sew these as I trimmed, because I now have a completed quilt instead of the boxes of trimmings that I have left from DT #1 and #2. Sitting down and sewing all of them together is going to be a long boring task that may or may not ever happen.
But since I worked on these a few at a time, I now have this
I machine quilted it Thursday and Friday. Yesterday I decided to add some Broderie Perse applique to three of the corners
It has a wild orange back with some gold detail that doesn't show well in this picture.
None of these are very good pictures and I apologize for that. This was another quilt on which I used Superior Thread's King Tut "Old Giza". I absolutely love this color of variegated KT thread and it ends up working well on many of my quilts lately. Who would think that looking at it on the spool
I had a terrible time thinking of a name for this quilt, until a friend on Facebook suggested "Waste Not". I think that will be it unless some of you have better suggestion? Thinking of names may be the hardest part of making quilts. Do you name yours?

Amazing good use of scraps and a good idea sew as you go. Waste not is a perfect name for this quilt.
Hi Mary, haven't been in blogland for a while and the first thing I see is your quilt. Love it, of course. Great use of the scraps.
I think if we each gathered together the threads that we use in a quilting, it would reveal something about our colour choices that doesn't show up when we look at finished items. I know my thread colours sometimes look very different to the overall colour feel of the quilt.
What a great quilt Mary and a very good idea to sew them up as you went!! I'm terrible about naming quilts, it was easier when I gave them away and just said Emma's Quilt or Saige's Quilt LOL.

I love that you were able to use the scraps and turn them into something wonderful. And, of course, your applique is beautiful.
What a beautiful quilt. And how clever you were to make the blocks as you went along. I love Old Giza, it's one of my favorite colors

It's, for lack of a better word, perfect and that applique on the corners are the dot over the i.
You really have been on a roll this summer.
