Scrap quilt tip

A while back I was getting to the bottom of the variety in my scraps for my Spiderweb quilt. I picked up this border print by Donna Dewberry. As you can see, from a quarter I got 10 different scrap pieces. I thought I would share my tip on QB.

Hey that's pretty cool! Did you take a "before" pic, so we can see what the original print looked like?

I think that IS the original print... a 1/4 yard cut of it.

Yep, that is the original yardage. I used a section of it this week to cut my triangles for the Triangle Frenzy Swirl pattern.

I saw a picture of Triangle Frenzy Swirl in a Northcott ad for their Lavender Market fabric. It is gorgeous in that fabric but I had this border print and wanted to try it. I just went by the picture as it is fairly simple with 60* triangles.
