This is a "makes me happy to see" kind of quilt. I hope you will post a photo of it when it is finished.

Very nice! I like the blocks - should be a beautiful quilt and what a great way to use your scraps.

Absolutely beautiful colors. I am really learning to appreciate the scrappy quilts so much. What size strips are you using?
Please post the completed project.

What do you think?

this is one of my favorite patterns. i foundation piece and keep a large hamper to hold all my strip scraps, even the selvedge trimmings. then when i get bored i pull the hamper out. i totally love the randomness of the whole thing and never try to be matchy about it but usually make the final border black, sometimes putting a narrow inner border. the black border and binding seem to calm the eye and they don't stay around long after completed. yours is looking great. if you think you like it a lot now, wait til it is finished....you will love it. i do.
