Beware of the Scrap Vortex...

(How cute is that zebra?)


So I started playing with my scraps after being inspired by Crazy Mom Quilts. She gave a wonderful tutorial on this method. I also incorporated some of Bonnie Hunter's 'crumb theory' and then I just started playing. I fussy cut some cute little surprises, and I made some log cabin blocks, and some half log cabin blocks. Once I got going, it was hard to stop.


My fancy set up includes opening a drawer to use as a shelf for my scrap basket. I can dig through it without getting up from my sewing machine. Also, it's mostly Boomer proof. (Nothing is completely Boomer proof!)


Then I started playing with the blocks and units on the design wall.


Do you see a pattern emerging here? Any suggestions on which solid color I should use as the sashing. I have a few to choose from in my stash, but I'm happy to consider suggestions. If you are considering trying this...Please be aware... it's incredibly addictive....you've been warned!

  4. OOH, this looks like it could be trouble. I think something with black and white might work.

  5. well for me, i have always wanted to do a scrappy quilt with a nice lemon yellow solid incorporated somehow....just gives it that sunshiny look i think...but with scrappy can do almost anything....even a nice pink, beige, light green....endless choices!

  7. I love this setting design. Not sure what color to use, maybe each sashing should be a different color 😊
