These little duckies are my first finish of the year although they were started last year. The ducks were in a donation at ScrapBags and were meant to be stuffed toys. The pink background and the flannel backing with little ducks on it were also donations. They were re purposed into a baby quilt. There are toy train pieces also meant to be stuffed toys which I made into a top. There also were 6 Sunbonnet Sues from Joanne's stash. I did machine applique them as they were just fused. I need to make some 9 patch alternate blocks to make a decent size top. The SS finished at a scant 12" square and I had to do math to figure out how big to make 9 patches for the alternates which turned out to be 4 3/8's. I for one do not like the math of quilting. I found 3 tops that I had made in the fall which were under stuff so out of sight ,out of mind. They are flannel made from Elizabeths and Cathy's stashes. I have my own stash to use up and should stay away from these donations although.....Elizabeth is having a clean out...
