construction of my scrappy quilt
 

I had a few questions about the quilt and if I had a pattern, I did not have a pattern, just laying out the 2.5 inch scrap squares until I found a design I liked, sewing groups of 5 to 6 squares together and then laying them down, sewing sections together as I went along watching ahead that I had enough of that particular fabric to finish the diamonds. I accumilated all the fabrics after doing several batic quilts. when I am doing a project I go on a cut the scraps into either 10" 5" or 2.5" squares and put them in drawers for that particular size.. separating batiks from prints. when I became overrun with the batik 2.5" peices, I decided it was time to do somethine with them, I did use the same brown small print fabric through out the quilt to separate the diamonds. here are a few pics of the progress of the quilt.

I quilted it with a wrought iron design throughout and around the border..

Awesome, gotta love those batiks. Good job.

It truly is beautiful! Are you going to enter it in the River Heritage Quilt Show in Cape Girardeau in September? I think you should!

Beautiful!!!

Love your quilt! It really came out nice. The wrought iron design shows up so nicely in the dark border too . Is it a panto that you used ?

Great use of scraps! Love it! :)
