First quilt of 2017 completed.
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]565167[/ATTACH] Started making the blocks on New Years Eve . I decided to do quilt as you go . This is 54 inches square and I have made no impact at all on my scraps stash . The back is scrappy squares . I aim to make as many scrappies as I can from my enormous scrap mountain .

Lovely. I also plan to make some scrappies this year. Good Luck with yours. BrendaK

beautiful scrappy

Very nice. I like string quilts and haven't made any in a couple of years. Thanks to your example, I will have to remedy that.

beautiful quilt.

nicely done

Looks great! Good luck- you'll need it if your scrap pile is like mine...LOL

I really like that. So cheerful. String quilts are so much fun to make--mindless and merry ! But I know what you mean about that absence of a dent in the scrap pile. Those little scraps have reproductive organs that go into overdrive when the lights are out.

Gorgeous! I love the colors in your quilt. I just assembled scraps for a king-size braid quilt and really hoped to make a huge dent in my scraps. Nope.

I'm trying to keep up with Bonnie's organizing system and it seems like a race to keep up with trimming.

like your scrappy quilt

great quilt love scrappy!!!

Love the look of your strip quilt. They are fun to make.
peace

I love making string blocks but the scrap pile just seems to grow. BTW your quilt is very pretty.

Very nice scrappy quilt and you got it done fast.

What a pretty, cheerful quilt!

Nice looking scrappie.

Love this...I make a lot of string quilts with my scraps, too.

Love your colors! I get gifted with a lot of scraps and it's time to cur strips!

Lovely scrappy.

No dent in the stash? That's disheartening. I'm on a buying moratorium. But I've purchased fabric twice already this year.

Did you see MSQC did a tute on paper piecing?

Great string quilt. I have some string blocks that I've been building from time to time somewhere in a drawer...I like the looks of your sashing between the blocks. Good luck stash busting...you're off to a good start for 2017.

Very pretty.

Great quilt!

love scrappies. your colors and spacing are perfect. great way to start off the year.

Another gorgeous scrappy.

Great use of scraps, I need to make better use of my scraps.

I love your scrappy quilt. What a positive way to clean up some scraps for the New Year!

Nice scrappy. As a QAYG, did you do a batting as the foundation?

Love your quilt and it is really a good way to use up scraps. BUT---my scraps seem to multiply over night!

Thank you all for the lovely comments! I used a lightweight interfacing for the foundation .

Such a beautiful scrappy.

Great use of scraps!

I need to get busy with this myself!

what a beautiful Idea! thanks for sharing!

I really like the effect you have gotten with your scrappy. I also have a scrap mountain, as well as UFOs. So much to do!

You need to post this in the scrappy thread. It is lovely.
