Nice way to use up scraps and I love that you use black to outline the blocks and then made up white/black 4-patches. And yes, I quite understand that those pesky scraps seem to multiply right under you nose. I made up 3 over sized lap quilts using all scraps recently and barely made a dent in my scrap pile. Luckily I did downsize my 5", 3" and 2.5" stash though. Now down to only one tote of each..................

I keep telling myself that all of my small scraps can be sewn together to make "new" fabric, but I never quite get around to it. And that adding machine tape I started is only a couple of feet long. Your quilt is such an inspiration to me!

I've been staring at the corner stones... is that embroidery, or a piece of print fabric with a black background that you framed with more black, or ???
