After making several quilts I have a bunch of mismatched scraps in my stash drawer. You know what I mean a little bit of this and a little bit of that. So me being the organized type of person I am I went out there and decided to empty it out and use it up somehow.
My Son is the only one I have not made a quilt for so this is a good reason as any to make him one. This will be a spin off of my MIL's Proud Mary pattern but smaller strips and it will still be hand tied between the SITD strips.
I just grabbed the left over material and cut it up in 3" and 2 1/4" strips all different lengths and colors. I know that I need to keep the light and darks separated but thats the only rule I am using on it.
This should be an interesting but fun quilt to say the least, and since it is still cold out in my studio I am going to use my 1921 66 Red Eye to sew this one up too. :thumbup:

If the weather is not wanting to agree with me (in other words raining) I will start to sew it up and post pics of the progress so far.
If I dont have time to sew I will take a few of it laying in the floor to give you an idea as to what I am going for.

I am going to take a couple for you of it so far. I had today to start sewing on it and the scrap layout is roughly halfway gone. I lose 1/2" with every seam so I will have to add more strips to it as I go to get the right width.
I shall return............
