It's no secret that I love scraps. With my scrap bin overflowing again I dove in and started another quilt. Why not right?
This quilt was not a quick quilt to piece but it was so much fun. So repetitive, easy and colourful. First the dive into the scrap bin, then the pressing, the stitching, and then trimming each HST unit down to the correct size. I really like trimming my HST's down after stitching, They are much more precise to piece together after that.
All sorts of colours, mostly bright of course, put together (mostly) at random. I tried not to put like colours next to each other, but sometimes it happened.
The backing is a nice warm yellow found at Stay Home Fabrics, a small Canadian based, online shop.
I love everything about this quilt. And, I've decided to list it in my shop.
Happy December to you all!
I love it, Alisa! So colourful and warm!

ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! You are so right about trimming down first! I was just pulling my hair out piecing together some windmills that I hadn't trimmed first - duh!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Scrap quilts are always so fascinating to look at!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Such great colors. Aren't scraps wonderful? :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Do you cut your scraps to certain sizes before you store them? I have lots of scraps but it's overwhelming sometimes to pull them all out with their weird shapes and tiny thin bits.
ReplyDeletelove the bright colours!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Your scrap bins must be awesome - if I tried that there would be a whole ton of bitty old fashioned prints and random boy stuff and a few modern ones...
