Inspired by all the lovely scrap quilts posted in Grammy Dwynn's topic, I threw all caution to the wind and let my scraps roam free!!

For the first time ever I have ignored the desire to colour coordinate and focused on colour value...I am hooked!!

DH has taken a shine to this and even chose the final layout of the quilt :-D I have made 30 blocks (9" finished, thinking he wanted a lap quilt) only to discover that he wants a full size quilt, as he is suffering from inoperable cancer and knows that he will be bed bound downstairs sooner or later, bless him..

SO guess I will have to get busy making quite a few more, so watch this space :-D

Here's what I have made up to now:

wow - beautiful quilt - love the layout!

That will be beautiful! Good luck to your husband. may he stay able for many more years!

So pretty- prayers for DH and hugs for you... doctors don't know everything... keep up your hope...

Wow!

Love it! That's a great layout. Blessings to you & your hubby.
Maureen

WOW, that's just wonderful!!

Thank you for your lovely comment and well wishes for DH, sadly he is on borrowed time, but we make the most of each day that he feels well, he has outwitted this disease for a year longer than was first predicted so we never give up hope

:-)

DH will be in our prayers
I love it!!!!!
I totaly understand about throwing caution to the wind.... Once you get over that ,it is a breeze!!!!

Thanks! When I make all the blocks I will make sure the pattern repeat is centred, I have just thrown them down on the lounge rug to see how it looked LOL

:-D

It’s beautiful!! I wish the very best for your husband. As luckylindy333 said Dr.’s don’t know everything.

I’ll be keeping my eyes open for this quilts progress.

Hugs and prayers that hes got a lot more 'borrowed' time ahead of him..

The quilt is beautiful.. its one that's one my 'To Do' list..

Yes we have to agree about Dr's opinions, but have to say his Oncologist is brilliant with him :thumbup:

Thanks Scrap Happy and everyone for your sweet comments :-D :-D :-D

beautiful quilt - love the layout!

Bless you too for your kindness :D

This layout is a variation of Jacob's Ladder...I didn't realise there were so many!! I look forward to seeing yours soon :thumbup:

Love it!! What a beautiful joint project :D:D:D
(((HUGS))) to you both (((HUGS)))

That's great!

That is a beauty, Izy. It will brighten his day when the time comes.

I hope so, thanks :-D

:-D :-D :-D

Prayers for your husband.
Lovin' the quilt!!!!

It's beautiful .. love scrappies!!!

Beautiful Izzy!!!!!

And this truly is scrappy, there are recycled clothing, vintage fabrics and and leftovers galore!! Cheers!!

:-D :-D

A lot of love shows in that quilt. Prayers for both of you. A positive attitude has kept cancer at bay for many people.

Thanks Jim's Gem...you KNOW how long I have admired your Avatar quilt, maybe I will copy yours next :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Amazing..........love how you placed the blocks......

Gotta love scrap quilts! The memories it brings to the maker & the receiver. They are the best.

You are SO right, DH has the right attitude and refuses to give up, he can only be admired for his sheer determination to 'live' each day as best he can. The other day he was worn out after pottering in the garden for an hour, when DS's GF said then why do you push yourself so hard? His reply was 'If I lie down, I will die, so I keep myself busy....' ;-)

Beautiful! I love it! I am sorry to hear about your hubby:( Make as many Sweet Memories as you can. I can see all the love in your quilt:) Can't wait to see it finished:)

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and all the support, we both appreciate it :D

I love scrappy and this layout is wonderful. Prayers for you and your husband.

So far you have done great!!! Nice lay-out! Hubby will feel much better under this one!! Prayers for both of you!!

Beautiful!!! Welcome to the scrappy world.Hugs & prayers to you & hubby.

Oh, those remind me of Nickel Quilts. Love the colors and designs.

It sparkles!

I LOOOVE what you're doing!!! So cheerful!!!!!
Sending hugs and love to you and hubby, and good wishes! :)

It's gorgeous! Isn't it freeing to just throw all the rules away and grab stuff from your stash? And somehow it all goes together!

Both layouts are great. Im taking a bunch of cuts squares with me on vacation (camping) and going to make something like this. Cant wait. Love the scrappies!!

So sorry to hear about Hubby :(. This quilt will bring him lots of peace and comfort. Thoughts and prayers for Hubby and your family. {{{{HUGS}}}}}

Keep up the good work!
