I hope you are aware of Valerie's Tuesday Archives, but do hop over today. She has a theme (alphabetically) each week and this week it is Scrap Quilts and Scrap Projects.
Since I am a scrap quilter, oh so many posts with scrap quilts. I linked my little scrap doll tutorial, but you can pick it up on the tab, too. For a quilt I thought I wouldn't go thru the archives, but show the newest finish (photoed just as a huge storm rolled in - just made it in the door).
This was my my April 'Let's Book It' project from Pat Speth's "Big Book of Nickel Quilts". It didn't even put a dent in my scraps.
This is a big quilt and I handed it off to my long armer, Barbara Rua, to just do a large open meander. Anything more would take away from the 'heritage' of this quilt pattern.
A little closer shot before the lightening and thunder scared the beegeebees out of me. 72" square, Quilter's Dream 100% cotton batt, unbleached muslin for backing, 5 different left over bindings complete this. I LOVE this quilt - so me!!
If you are a scrap quilter or just starting to work your scraps, please go over and check out all the link ups - inpiration abounds.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
Oh, I love that quilt! Though I was getting dizzy trying to puzzle out the basic block. (Two squares and a rectangle?)
ReplyDeleteSince 'scrappy' is my middle name, I'm headed over to chase links. Thanks for the heads-up!
Your quilt is really pretty. I really like it. I will have to check out the quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove it as usual!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, Sharon, I LOVE this quilt!!
ReplyDeleteWow Sharon this is amazing and so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Sharon! This quilt is beautiful! I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how a quilt this large just seems to generate more scraps, not make a dent in them, much less empty out a scrap tote! I do love this pattern, it would make a wonderful leader/ender project - is that how you got this one accomplished?
ReplyDeleteYes! This is beautiful.....love all the scrappy goodness you put into it. And I love using mixed binding strips....they show a little personality. you don't mention the block name, so shall we just call it Sharon's block?
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Sharon , I love it ! The thunder has now arrived here , wish it would stop now :-(
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous. I love what can be done with little squares!
ReplyDeleteAnother masterpiece to love by the inimitable Sharon !~! Simply delightful.
