brushandthimble--looks good; but how about the one peeking out from under the scrappy one?

Don't judge the individual blocks. Instead, wait until you can lay out all the "strays" and see how well they play with each other. If you pick a color from the blocks that you really like and use it as sashing, you may be surprised how the quilt will sing.

I host a "scrap surprise" every spring for a couple of the girls I quilt with. This is one of them, it is the one peeking out LOL. I think the pattern is Puss in the Corner. scrappy quilt with alternate blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]31458[/ATTACH] |
