Scrappy Carpenter Star finally finished
 
1 Attachment(s)
This quilt was months in the making, or shall I say, months in the waiting for me to take it apart and then redo it correctly. It is really made from scraps - I bought a stack of squares of the colored fabrics in a flea market, and then found another bunch of squares of the varying neutrals in the same flea market on another trip. The binding fabric was something I found in a remnant bin and the backing was another odd piece I had. Also found just the perfect size of leftover batting in my drawer. So maybe not scraps of one of my quilts, but just random things put together. My pattern called for borders, but didn't have enough good scraps for that. Maybe next time.

Love the colors, they look good together. I have been wanting to make on of those. Maybe you have inspired me. What size is your quilt? Good job.

Thanks. It is about 30 " square. I really didn't have a size in mind. Just wanted to play with those scraps.

Great looking quilt! My favorite are always scrap quilts. I always vote for the scraps when groups want to do a raffle quilt, I think they really appeal to most everyone.
