After making several quilts I have a bunch of mismatched scraps in my stash drawer. You know what I mean a little bit of this and a little bit of that. So me being the organized type of person I am I went out there and decided to empty it out and use it up somehow.

My Son is the only one I have not made a quilt for so this is a good reason as any to make him one. This will be a spin off of my MIL's Proud Mary pattern but smaller strips and it will still be hand tied between the SITD strips.

I just grabbed the left over material and cut it up in 3" and 2 1/4" strips all different lengths and colors. I know that I need to keep the light and darks separated but thats the only rule I am using on it.

This should be an interesting but fun quilt to say the least, and since it is still cold out in my studio I am going to use my 1921 66 Red Eye to sew this one up too. :thumbup:

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I am currently cutting my scraps up into 1.5" strips to make a log cabin quilt!!!

Sounds like a great project :D:D:D Can't wait to see it!!!

I can't wait to see it. Bet it will turn out great. Share it with us please.

If the weather is not wanting to agree with me (in other words raining) I will start to sew it up and post pics of the progress so far.

If I dont have time to sew I will take a few of it laying in the floor to give you an idea as to what I am going for.

Billy

yes, hope to see pics soon.

The scrappy look will be perfect for your DS! I can't wait to see pic's.

I am going to take a couple for you of it so far. I had today to start sewing on it and the scrap layout is roughly halfway gone. I lose 1/2" with every seam so I will have to add more strips to it as I go to get the right width.

I shall return............

Billy

Alrighty then, here you go.........

These were shot on my dining room table but it should give you an idea as to what it will end up looking like.

Billy

Looking good!
