My eyes are bugging out!

I'm working on this friendship top. My eyes are bugging out!! Remind me to NEVER use small pieces again! AND.... my scrap pile keeps growing! These are all from my scrap pile, but it doesn't seem to be shrinking.

I can understand why your eyes are bugging out! Those are some small pieces! But, it'll be worth it; it's really beautiful.

looks good

This is so awesome. I always laugh when a pattern is labeled "stash Buster". I have made so many scrap quilts and my scrap stash hasn't gone down at all, not even a little or a smidge.
Keep on stitching! Your charming quilt is so cool.
peace

Thanks everyone. It is not paper pieced, I should have tho. Probably would have been easier! LOL

Lovely scrappy quilt but so many small pieces. I understand why your eyes are buggy!

Bluebonnets 04-15-2015 09:13 PM

Very pretty!!

FabStripper 04-15-2015 09:46 PM

This is real nice. Are you adding a piece of white to each little triangle? This is a great way to use scraps.

PaperPrincess 04-16-2015 03:52 AM

I love this!

Jingle 04-16-2015 04:23 AM

It turned out beautifully. Sure was worth the time you spent on it.

sinceresissy 04-16-2015 04:28 AM

It's a nice looking quilt. Maybe you'll start a new beauty fashion with your new bug eyes. Everyone will want to quilt with small peices of material so they can have bug eyes just like yours.

#1piecemaker 04-16-2015 04:28 AM

Its going to be beautiful! You've got a great start!

ManiacQuilter2 04-16-2015 04:31 AM

The quilt is so cute. How small are those snowballed triangles???

ontheriver 04-16-2015 04:56 AM

It's going to be great! I make scrappy quilts all the time and never run out, LOL.

toverly 04-16-2015 05:17 AM

Love it! But alas, I know what you mean the scrap pile never reduces. It only grows.

tessagin 04-16-2015 05:19 AM

Well pop 'em back in cuz we're anxious to see the finished quilt. Already looks great. Love the colors!

joyce888 04-16-2015 11:51 AM

Its going to be gorgeous!

busy fingers 04-16-2015 12:38 PM

Another gorgeous scrappy in the making.

geevee 04-16-2015 01:30 PM

I have an affinity for lattice quilts, yours is so pretty. :)

Lafpeaches 04-16-2015 01:51 PM

Bright, happy quilt.

sewnsewer2 04-16-2015 01:58 PM

Thanks everyone. The corner triangles are 2.5 and the white square is 3.5. Going to take a break from it tomorrow. Maybe my eyes will pop back in then. LOL you guys Crack me up!!

Teddybear Lady 04-16-2015 02:08 PM

Don't you know that once you cut into a piece of fabric that it reproduces forever! :D LOL I love your quilt.

twinkie 04-17-2015 02:32 AM

A very pretty quilt.

jmoore 04-17-2015 02:34 AM

What a great scrappy. I love how colorful it is. I'm sure you're happy to be finished with it... looks like a lot of little squares/triangles.

Texas_Sue 04-17-2015 04:48 AM

This is a great quilt. I love it. Very nice.

solstice3 04-17-2015 04:53 AM

Looking good!

earthwalker 04-17-2015 04:55 AM

Worth it...looks great and you are a legend....keep at it.

Gerbie 04-17-2015 05:24 AM

I think there are fabric fairies that keep adding to ones scrap bin. Seems like everyone who makes a scrap quilt can't seem to get their scrap pile to shrink. I love your quilt!! I think scrap quilts are great! Thanks for sharing.

lorimax5859 04-17-2015 05:29 AM

I like it but I agree - all those tiny pieces..................

Mariposa 04-17-2015 05:30 AM

Looking good! :)

kariboo 04-17-2015 10:02 AM

I love that, you did a awesome job..

Billy'swife 04-17-2015 10:09 AM

Your quilt is stunning! Some of the best quilts come out of a scrap pile!

MargeD 04-17-2015 11:15 AM

It looks awesome. Despite how many "stash buster" quilts we might make, I think our fabric stashes multiple when we turn our back on them, at least that's what I think my stash has done.

jclinganrey 04-17-2015 11:33 AM

Are those background squares 4" or 6"? Great quilt.

QUILTNMO 04-17-2015 12:21 PM

very nice i say my scraps multipy as i sleep!!!

Conartist1945 04-17-2015 12:24 PM

But it's a beautiful quilt.

sewingsuz 04-17-2015 03:02 PM

I really love your quilt, awesome job. I think we could all make about 8 or 10 quilts with our scraps.
