Scrap those scrap mounds
#102
I just found this challenge. I've been doing it anyway. Earlier this year, I joined up all my disasters to make "fabric" (no pattern just scraps joined together) and I will make dog blankets for my dog.and just this weekend I sorted out my scrap boxes and threw out anything less than 2 1/2 "square. I sorted them into lights, mediums and darks and I will redo some of paintmejudy's scrappy mysteries and I like some of the ones pictured on here too. I will post pictures when I can.

My plan is to arrange them in some sort of “pleasing arrangement “ and then join them the same way I made the blocks. I did that by using a decorative stitch to join the pieces.

I just realized I never posted here the finished project of my Rainy Night Windows. Here are photos of the front and back and I'm so pleased with myself and how it came out:

And my current scrappy pattern is Tulip Beds. It's my version of a table topper I found on a blog site, I am loving this quilt and might end up keeping it for myself. It will be the first of my quilts that I have kept. Right now it's in flimsy stage as I'm taking a break from quilting to sew up scrappy strings and pieces. Also including a photo of my first ever stringy thingys! [ATTACH=CONFIG]597553[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]597554[/ATTACH]

Wow, Lydia, you must have worked day and night to do all these! I thought I was doing a good job, but nothing near your accomplishments. Wow!!! Great job! And all beautiful!! I better get busy... I'm drowning in scraps.

O my goodness I love it! I just finished my first “modern quilt” a month or so ago. It was fun stepping outside the box
