That's so awesome you came up with your own pattern! It will be great with a dark contrasting background. Kudos!

I love using up the scraps. I do this and I do a flip and sew on muslin making blocks any size you want. The muslin can be the batting and then all you need is a backing and binding. I use up left over binding that way as well. Great work.

I love this . You can't beat scraps in my book! Did you use a foundation and then slice and resew?

It's brilliant! This will be a stunner when it's done. I too love to see the blocks stack up

as I love the quilting and binding aspect of this craft the best. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
