quilt bits for dressers

Today, I was going through my fabric scraps getting ready for this scrap swap, when I realized that I had completed a couple things last spring which I never shared on the blog. (There's nothing quite like a scrap of fabric to send you back to projects past.)

I had been envious of the clean and pristine dresser tops of other people I know because my dresser top was usually full of crap--stray pins, old clothing tags and their plastic bits, dust, spent lists, etc. I figured that if I made myself a nice quilty dresser topper, it would be a good place to keep my usual jewelery and it would keep my dresser tidy too. The blue triangle one is mine, and it's been working pretty well.

I also made one for Eva, but then almost immediately decided not to use it. She wasn't that into it, and she pretty much has her own dresser-top mojo going on, so I didn't want to push the issue. There isn't much room up there with all the dollies, jewelery boxes, and special rocks anyway. The thing is, now I have this pretty quilt thing that has been sitting in my closet. I think I'll take apart the quilt sides and hang it on the wall.
