Default Remember when I asked last summer to buy batik scraps?

After a million years sewing I'd only discovered batiks and fell inlove, but absolutely do NOT want to build stash, and being a scrappy girl... I hunted for scraps here!
My project I'm working on with those shared scraps is a queen colorwash, not finished yet, but my scrapping created a lot more scraps as they do, so I kitted up 1.5" X 2.5" potato chip block scraps to stitch while we RV around the country.

I put it on the working wall and assembled it this week, I'm over the moon with how much I love it. 45" X 70" I think. Thank you all again for answering may call. Sharyn

Nothing better, in my book, than the jewel tones of batiks. Your quilt makes them sparkle.

other than the time it took to cut the scraps, the Potato Chip is a Very simple block, quite like a log cabin.

thank you all for the compliments, it is Really jewel like in person ~ I'm not going to use batting, but back it with Woolies flannel Life is good and so is cozy time!
