    Default Here is Trail Mix

    I thought Trail Mix was the perfect name for this quilt, until my husband said that Chex Mix would be a better name because of the little white squares. The designer is Mabeth Oxenreider for allpeoplequilt.com. I reduced the size from 84x102 to 72x90. I thought making 130 6" blocks was enough for me. There are five different blocks. Only one is totally random. Three are color-coordinated. One is half and half. I had so much fun choosing fabrics. My stash is almost exclusively scraps and short cuts. I had them stacked all around in my sewing room so I could see the different colors. What a mess! The panto is Spilt Paint, one of my favorites, from Anne Bright Designs. I may have to keep this one, at least for a while.

    You must have an extensive scrap bin to have such a beautiful palette come from it. Scrappy, yes, but controlled. A nice pattern.

    I love your quilt! I might have to try that pattern. I have tons of scraps and that would be a really good way to use them up

    I've always loved that pattern, though I've never made it. The colors in yours are delightful, really well chosen and put together.
