Do you remember Lula May?
The scraps leftover from Lula May became Signal Sam.

Signal Sam is my response to the December Challenge which states "December brings another month to embark on your own project, regardless of its size, theme, or technique! Seize this chance to unleash your creativity without constraints. Enjoy the process!"

| Leftover Strip from Lula May |
There is something very satisfying about taking the scraps from a completed quilt and making a brand new one. I definitely enjoyed the process.

| Bold and Beautiful |
Signal Sam uses the Island Batik collection Celebrate, designed by Kathy Engle. The background is Solid Black.
The batting is Hobbs Cotton. I used Schmetz Microtex 80/12 Needle for both piecing and quilting.
I used my walking foot to quilt squiggly lines 2" apart. The binding is a scrappy mix of Sunset, Lemongrass and Bumblebee from Island Batik Basics.

Signal sam finished at 40" square and I am loving the bold, modern and minimalist vibe. What do you think? Isn't he handsome?

I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties and Yvonne's Favorite Finish for December. See full list on the sidebar.
I love your quilting on this piece! Is this a stitch on your machine? I think I have something similar which you have now motivated me to try...Lovely bright quilt!
ReplyDeleteI don't have the program - old school - I have the ruler! HA But it works and I love the way it finished this quilt. Stunning!
DeleteSignal Sam is great!! Now, how many scraps do you have from your other Ambassador projects this year?
ReplyDeleteOh, the bright colors really pop against the solid black background. Great way to use up the scraps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Favorite Finish!
DeleteWhat a fun use of the leftovers. Very dynamic and bright. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern for leftovers...which I have a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat modern quilt. And your machine-sewn binding corners are perfect. Well done.
ReplyDeleteFun quilt. I’m impressed by how many strips you had left over from your prior project. I often have leftovers, maybe a block or two, or some partly made blocks. But never enough to make an entire additional quilt!

Most of the time, the scraps are not enough to make a whole quilt, even with the use of background fabric. Sometimes I make a zippered pouch :-) Look up Rainy Day in 2019 Quilts. Never mind, here is the link -https://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com/2019/12/rainy-day.html
DeleteWhat a fun and modern quilt! Always something we can make to use up those leftovers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt and a great way to use your scraps!
ReplyDeleteWow, bold and beautiful indeed, I love Signal Sam! The squares are just floating with harmony, it's a fabulous use of pretty scraps.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... you would have Paul Revere confused. As for me, I like it just fine. Black always makes colors pop. Always enjoy your squiggly quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to use up left overs!! This is really fun and modern, Preeti! And I always love your squiggly line quilting - it's great! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteAnother example of, "You Knocked It Out of the Park!" Wow! How satisfying to use leftovers to make a new quilt that has such visual impact!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteVery clever Preeti!
ReplyDeleteIt’s fantastic! The colors certainly do pop on the black background.
ReplyDeleteGreat use for all those leftover squares and strips, Preeti!
ReplyDeleteYou'd never guess that was a "left overs" quilt. Very bold and bright!
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of leftovers, and yes, very handsome!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use up leftovers! Very pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
