Loving how this is coming together! I decided I liked the look of the stars as a print and found the perfect one in my stash of scraps from a friend. Think the print must be from the early 70s as it looks very much like the one I had for the sashes of my bridesmaids dresses, only the colors are different.

Got my scrappy's finished and I've been working on the last train ride #3.

Thanks for Step 2; this one should keep me busy for a while.



Tell me, what do you guys do with the little waste triangles from the stitch 'n' flip? I feel wasteful tossing them, but I know from experience that I don't enjoy working with them, either.

Enjoy the trip to Costa Rica; it is a beautiful country. We vacationed there in '09, and had a nice advantage because my uncle and aunt own a place there, so we were able to stay with them and get a tiny bit of a local perspective, as well as enjoy some touristy stuff. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Stayed up most of the night getting step 1 done. Just love the accuquilt cutter. Made it so much easier. I cut our for 2 big quilts. I think for A and B I am going to do one scrappy and one not. Just love the pattern. It was one that I had on my to make list. Can't wait to get back to the sewing room.

My daughter just make a chocolate cake with carmel frosting. There is enough to share. A quick bit to keep going
:-)))

reesky, love your mystery #3 blocks! And of course your 9-patch also.

Quossum, way to go girl -- you joined yesterday and have just jumped in with both feet! Beautiful picture of a beautiful country. I get to see it all from both oceans to the highest mountain, really excited.

And mora, too, she just joined yesterday, too, and is all in with both feet. LOL

Quossum - forgot to answer you. IMHO only LOL

I too, hate to waste anything, but I made this quilt to be a scrap buster, not scrap maker.

I just love this scrappy quilt. This project takes away 2 of my goals for 2013. Make a scrappy quilt and do the mystery quilt for the mystery train this year. I really enjoy reading, seeing, and getting ideas from everyone here. The pics I see all look great. I will catch up with everyone after I finish the mystery quilt from merry mayhem (planet patchwork). Only have to put the blocks together and border the quilt for that quilt top. A today and Tuesday and Wednesday project. Then on to this project. Off to my quilting room I go.

To Quossum, I sew the two pieces together to form 1/2 square, and I'm saving my scraps to one day make a mini quilt. I haven't decides on the final design, but that's what I plan to do with them. And yes I have lots of these scraps, in numerous colors.
