Turning ugly scrappy blocks into beauties
 
1 Attachment(s)
In my Scrappy club I made these blocks and after multiple cutting of the blocks I just didn't like the outcome. So from lemons I made lemonade and just love how the top came out. I decided to keep it since it goes in my living room so well. All I have to do is decide what quilting design to put in the sashings.

Your quilt is eye catching, certainly not a lemon. Beautiful way to save the 'ugly' scrappy blocks. May in Jersey

Your quilt turned out lovely. I"m a fan of Scrap quilts and really like the outcome. The solid color stars makes it pop.

Your quilt is a great use of scrappy blocks and certainly turned out nice.

very clever idea. now I know what to do with that stack of "I don't know what to do with these" blocks

I think it turned out great!

It doesn't look at all as though you started out with a lemon!

You did a smashing good job! Doesn't it make you love it that much more, after being such a disappointment in the begining. My previous post of the kaleidoscope UFO # 4 was like that. Your quilt turned out scrap-elicious.

peace

I'm not overly fond of the scrappy look, but this is definitely one I'd keep, too! It turned out very nicely!

PKWard 09-07-2012 08:20 AM

Love these colors! If you get tired of it...it would match my living room perfect too! :D

That is a very refreshing "lemonade" quilt ! You made beautiful use of those scrap blocks! The sashings and corners stars were that little bit of sugar the quilt needed.
