Default 1/4 done, 3/4 to go

I've been working on my scrappy in between other things and have 30 blocks done. I think this is about 1/4 of the size I am aiming for. They look a bit lumpy because I am holding off pressing my blocks until I get them all sewn and arranged. I want to be able to move blocks around and I want the final pressing to have the seams nest. I will keep going until I reach that size or until I run out of scraps.......(I don't think my scrap bin is looking any smaller )[ATTACH=CONFIG]541696[/ATTACH]

Looking good so far.
If you can use up your scraps please share how you did it.

This is going to be so colourful and beautiful when you get it done. This would be fun in rainbow colors.

How big do you want this cuz there are some quilts out there that call for scraps so do you really want to use all of them?

This 1/4 chunk is about 40X46 but it isn't sewn together. I figure 4 chunks this size will make it approx. 80X90 square and I think I will add a 8 inch border to finish. I hope to use up all my scraps that I can cut my 2X5 inch pieces from.

I looks gorgeous to me. I love the scraps that you have put into this quilt. With a lot of strips in a quilt, I also wait on pressing too a larger pieced.
