Hi Everyone,

This is a Glad Creations pattern and the name is "Home Sweet Home" for those interested. It was fun to make - a LOT of cutting but still fun!

I hope this inspires others and gives ideas on what to do with lots of different fabrics!

Roberta your quilt is absolutely fabulous. How long did it take you to complete the top?

I don't keep track of my time, so I can't tell you how many hours, but off and on for the month of May, 2010.

Thanks for the compliment!

Of course - it's all I ever use (except for some of the expensive stuff I bought before moving to Bali)! Scrappy works great when I only have 2+ yard pieces.

That's lovely!

cwessel47 06-03-2010 10:20 AM

Uh -huh - that's gorgeous! Gotta love the scrap thing. You think that 2 yards is a little, and I think 1/4 yds are enough. Maybe you have a larger spot for your stash than I do.

That is Beautiful. I love it.

First off your quilt is stunning! Second, I wish that I could quilt that fast. I guess it just takes practise.

Beautiful Log Cabin! Works beautifully with scrappy! I am experiencing a serious case of envy!!! I would love to make a log cabin, but I am so disorganized and color challenged I am afraid I would make a total mess of it. :-(

Thanks so much for sharing!

Grab a bunch of different fabric, squint at them together and if they kind of look the same in terms of brightness (lights, mediums or darks), you can make a scrappy! Best way is to jump right in - maybe start with a small quilt! They don't always turn out perfectly but give it a try! I "organize" my "scrappiness" - meaning that I don't put a bunch of the same types of colors together - I scatter them around to keep the quilt balanced. I think most of you know what I mean!!

Just give it a try - it's only fabric and time (ha-ha!).

I am in awe!
