Quilt for a new family member

When I found out that I would be welcoming a new family member, a great niece I decided to make a quilt.  Once they found out that they were having a little girl and my niece let me know what the color scheme was for the baby's room, I got started on a quilt for her. Here is Emma and her quilt.

Fabric pieces

I have a lot of left over fabric pieces because I am one of those that hate throwing away fabric.  I am currently cutting and working with all of these fabric pieces to be used in different project that have nothing to do with a sewing machine.  I am hoping to use these pieces in fabric art on canvas and a fabric rag rug.  This is what my work space looks like:

First the pieces of fabric are cut into 5x1 inch strips for the rag rug and then the left over pieces are being used for the canvas fabric art.  I am even tracing different shapes and sizes on the fabric to be cut out later. I am hoping that I can get my two Grand-kids to collage them on canvas.  It has been three days of doing this so far and I am only half way through my scrap fabric.  I am excited to get done so that I can start working on the rag rug.
