I love this quilt. It is the cover Quilt of Fons and Porter, Love of Quilting, May/June 2012.
The designer, Jean Wells, used gray as the neutral but I'm using black. There will be a black sashing around each 16 inch block. I love scrappy quilts~the more scraps I use the more I have~ I just don't understand:) Thanks for looking.....

That is fabulous! I'll have to unearth my Fons & Porter magazine & look at that version. I know I love this one! Please keep us posted to its progress!

The black really accents the other colors in your blocks making it very interesting and attractive to the viewers eye!

You have a teriffic start on this scrappy. I too don't understand how at the end of making scrappies the scrap pile never seems to have gone down?!!??

Good start. I like how the black frames each block. Please post the finished quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good, will have to look up that issue. Keep up the great work.

I have that issue and have been admiring that quilt. Your's is going to be so pretty, looks like it will be scrappier than the one in the magazine, which in my opinion, is a good thing. The scrappier the better! I know what you mean about expanding scraps, I swear they grow.
