I've made progress on the Christmas stocking - it's quilted and sewn together! Now all I need to do is add the cuff and hanger. Sweet deal! I'm considering making these for a lot of other people since they were so easy.
Next, since my scrap bin was overflowing, I decided to sort them into piles by color and make scrappy log cabin blocks. Here's the first one I attempted in yellow. I am very pleased with the way it turned out!
I've been collecting selvedges for awhile now too and made a string quilt with them. It turned out nicely also. I must have confused selvedge and string quilts though, because some of the strips turned out to be 1/4" wide since I cut them so skimpy to begin with, then sewed on both edges of the strip. I may change my sewing pattern on the next one.
Lastly, here's a few more blocks finished in my second version of the triple Irish chain. At first I wasn't crazy about how neutral it was appearing, but now that I have a few more blocks finished, I am much happier with the results.
Happy sewing!

I really like how your Irish Chain is coming along. Such bright happy colors.
Love the Triple Irish chain! Glad you stuck with it, the colors look great to me against the neutral.
Love everything here! The stocking and strings are just wonderful!
Nice! I really need to do something with all of my selvages that I've been collecting since I started seeing all of the selvage goodness in blog-land.... Love the yellow log cabin too, especially since it's so gray and gloomy here!!
The Irish chain is looking great!
