I am all over this challenge.....I have much needed scraps and stuff that I can use and get them made into something I'm sure of that.

Default Wow! 54 pages already!

I just found this thread and I'm definitely in! I also joined a UFO a month challenge; challenge being the operative word here!

This challenge is much more to my style and pacing. I ditto all said about Bonnie Hunter. I'm working on a Spider Web Scrap Quilt from her site.

I also took a class from the Nickel Quilts lady, whose name I can't recall at the moment. We learned about making a quilt from her book and she gave us a handout of how to make a strip quilt of the 5" pieces leftover after cutting the 5" squares. I've got that quilt made. In the plain fabric areas I'm hand quilting a motif. I had someone machine quilt the strippy area. The quilt is a large queen! I'm a little more than halfway on the quilt.

The plain fabric was from my aunt's stash that I inherited. It's such a beautiful color. Finding something for the borders was difficult, since they aren't making fabric that color right now. If I tried purple the fabric would look blue. If I tried blue the fabric looked purple!

Anyway, here's a peek at the quilt before quilting. And no, this won't count as my UFO for this thread!

I think I may have to be apart of this challenge. I think the scraps are takeing over my life. If I just had some more hours in the day so I could quilt more.

Default from my stash

I have made 4 of these this month, 42 x 60" for the charity I sew for. All out of my stash. Shameful that I have hung on to all this stuff! LOL

I have so many scraps! And I love scrap quilts, or using those scraps for mug rugs, place mats, table runners etc. Just too many pages of posts to see if there are any 'rules' about size etc. So I hope that making small projects will count too .... just LOTS of small projects, LOL

paintmejudy, your flower quilts are so charming, I would hate to part with it ... you are quite generous to donate these lovely quilts! They will be loved and appreciated for sure.
