Well done you!!!
|
This is so wonderful! I love it.
I have several old rolls of adding machine tape from my tax-preparing job years ago. I'm digging them out right now. (They were saved with the, "They might come in handy some day" reasoning.) Your quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. |
That's beautiful!!! Just think- with all your scraps you could probably make a hundred of them haha!
|
Wonderful scrappy. Very eye catching. It works!
|
Who needs to buy fabric when you made such a beautiful quilt from scraps. I love it.
|
Be careful! Scrappy quilts are addictive! Lol and scraps have a way of multiplying!
|
It is my understanding that if you spay/neuter newly purchased fabrics before bringing them home they will not turned into little scraps. Please notice I said it is my understanding. Since I have not remembered to neuter my fabrics there are scraps multiplying as I write! This quilt gives me hope for many of those rascals. Instead of scraps they are like little pieces of art just waiting to come together in one gorgeous quilt! Great work!
|
lots of 'pop' in this quilt....luv it!!!!
|
it came out great, I love the black border on the blocks, it really makes the colors pop and the scrap border with the black posts finishes the quilt beautifully
|
That's a scrappy anyone would love!
|
Love it! What a nice way use up some scraps.
|
You've got a stunning quilt there...wondering how you're going to quilt it? It could take straight lines or diamond patterns and be a contemporary Wow! Let us know what you do, ok?
|
Great job; love it! I have been told that our scraps reproduce at night. There are times I feel certain this is true!

This quilt is absolutely fabulous!
|
Awesome scrappy quilt! Love the use of the black and white to bring out your squares!

I don't pre-wash my fabric. But this spay/neuter thing ... you might be onto something! I'm gonna tell everyone!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]593243[/ATTACH] |

Ha! I don't think I even made a dent in the scrap pile! What's up with that!?! I did not use any foundation for the blocks; however, I had some old adding machine tape laying around and used it to sew pieces for the border. That was a huge help when it came time to trimming since I didn't have to worry about measuring! The adding machine tape was already 2-inches. I used my Hanging Gardens pattern (from Cozy Quilt Designs) for the layout. I had to do some math (ouch) for the setting triangles since my 7-inch scrappy blocks were smaller than what the pattern calls for. I really, really enjoyed sewing all the bits 'n pieces together to make the blocks. It was very relaxing sewing. I ended up making about 50 blocks very quickly. Just a bit disheartening to make that many blocks and look down at the pile of scrap and realize that there is just as much scrap fabric as when I started . . . maybe more!

Great idea, I love it!
|
Prettiest scrap quilt I've ever seen. Oh yes, scraps are alive and the breed and multiply all night, every night.....so, I guess you will just have to make more of these lovely quilts. Thanks for sharing. Love it.
|
Love what you’ve done with the black. Looks great.
|
I really admire people who can look at a tub of scraps and come up with something so gorgeous. I look at my scraps and see......scraps.
|
I never thought about doing something like that and am quite enthused about trying it out. Thanks!
|
The colorful border finishes it off nicely...great job.
|
I do like that quilt; I like scrappies and I think I have the Hanging Gardens pattern; I might have to haul my box of scraps out and try that. Very pretty quilt.
|
Great !

Beautiful scrappy! With the sun shining through the quilt top, it looks like stained glass. So lovely.
|
Very pretty scrappy and love how you used the pattern. I think our scraps multiply while we sleep!!
|
I'm not a big fan of scrappy, but you've changed that with this beauty!!! To me, it doesn't even look scrappy with the way you've tied everything together with the black & white. What a beautiful quilt!!!
|
Great idea! I really like that pattern...think I'll order it and do what you did. Those 'scraps' now sparkle!
|
Beautiful design. Love how the blocks pop.
|
Love it! The black accents really add to its beauty.
