I have been working on these hearts to use up my little bits and make something from nothing so to speak. I have done them over two years now so had to wait until I had enough green and orange to finish off my hearts as I don't use as much of these colours. My technical ability didn't quite match up with the task but as the sole purpose of this quilt was using up scraps I am very pleased with the results anyway. 90 1 inch squares in each block. I am now going to stop there and bind it in a small black binding and use it as a wall hanging. I love the vibrance of this piece.
I just need to add that I got the idea from a book I saw a few years ago now and stored it away for my use with scraps. It is called Folk Art Quilts by Sandy Bonsib. I have added the sashing and done my colours. Thanks for your comments. [ATTACH=CONFIG]110420[/ATTACH] |

Now that is my kind of quilt! What a great idea for using up little pieces.

This is so awesome. Such a pretty quilt and a great idea to use up scraps. I have so many scraps I was just thinking today what I could make with all my scraps. Looks like you answered my questions here with the hearts. Thanks
|
Just to make sure, you cut all your squares 1 1/2 inches right?
|
WOW - absolutely love it! I went to a garage sale today and bought a bag of scraps and was just getting ready to throw them away - think I will save them and copy your hearts!
|
Sooo pretty! I take all the scrap pieces of fabric I get and cut them down into as many useable sizes as I can, as small as 2"x2"! I even save the odd shapes, for the crazy quilt I expect to make some day! :)
|
Thats different. Wouldn't have thought of doing the background scrappy in colors.
|
Well done! Wonderful use of scraps and I love the colours.
|
Very nice quilt. Great way to use up the scraps.
|
Very pretty.

Those are gorgeous. I wish I had the patience for something like that. Please be sure to post a picture of the finished project.
|
That is a very cute idea and quilt.
|
Amazing what people can think to do with small scraps where I just throw away. No more=you have made me a better thinker and quilter. Thank you so much.
