5. using random or controlled blocks to create a center with pieced borders using random or controlled scraps
6. Crumbs or my confusion method used to create quilt blocks with a border
Any more methods to add? then we need to decide what type of quilt the quilt along with be
i'm most comfortable with the controlled scrappy quilt block but I invite you to comment
Here's my thoughts and what I enjoy working on --
- sampler quilts so it doesn't get boring.
- your cut-down method of using scraps -- maybe others would be interested to see this in a few blocks.
- HSTs (I was able to make a lap quilt made 100% from leftover scraps with HTSs).
- Sashing (I do QAYG and it's just easier this way)
I'm following along with the quiltalong on the Board and working in scrappy style but whatever everyone decides, I'll try to keep up with them both.
