Barnraising Scrappy
 
3 Attachment(s)
I keep trying to use up my 2.5" squares, but the amount never seems to get any less.

This is a 62" x 93" scrappy arranged in the barnraising pattern. I constructed the blocks like log cabins. The flower-outline quilting was traced using a lightbox with a blue washout marker. The rest of the quilting is free form on a HQ16.

This is the first time I have tried machine stitching a faux-piped binding. I was surprised at how square the corners turned out. Here is the YouTube video I used: http://thequiltshow.com/daily-blog/1...5bfc3a371c1723

I love your layout. Yes, is it disappointed that after all we make with 2" squares, it doesn't make a dent in the stash!!

You did a beautiful job on the quilting. I love the flower idea. Maybe that is what I will do with all the 2 1/2 squares I have.

That is just beautiful with the squares, and the flower quilting.

Beautiful quilting! My stash of 2 and 2.5 inch squares never seems to get smaller either. I think they are like dust bunnies under the bed and multiply themselves at night.

I really like this. The flowers in the quilting were a great idea, and I love the use of the scraps.

Boy, this is gorgeous! I really, (really!) hate to have my ignorance show but...you said you added the blocks in log cabin fashion...surely you didn't add each 2" square at a time did you? thanks for any clarifications you can offer. Pen

nannyrick 02-14-2016 11:06 AM

Yes, I sewed 2.5" scrappy squares together to make "logs" for the log cabin blocks. The white fabric were strips of fabric. It took a while...

Love this scrappy. The quilting is perfect for it too!

no matter how many scrap quilts I make, I never have fewer scraps. Why is that!
peace

Everything about your quilt is beautiful. Did you quilt it on a long arm or DSM?

Thank you!

Neither a long-arm nor a domestic... The HQ16 is a sit-down machine with a 16" harp. I move the fabric like a domestic, but I have more room with the larger harp area.

your quilting is fantastic... love the flowers and swirls. Awesome quilt!
