I tried!


I tried to throw away the scraps but failed!

Past couple of weeks I have been working on my Toran quilt but after a whole lot of precise piecing I needed some break.

So cleaning up the mess came next.


 What do you do with your basket full of scraps?

    That is my favourite kind of quilt for so many reasons. You feel good for tidying up, it's almost free and you have an unique quilt.

    The scraps are the best bits! I love what you're doing with these ones, such wonderful colours dancing on your design wall.

    The scraps are always my favorite part of the quilting process. These are making a second beautiful quilt! You could almost replicate your photo of the "Blue City" with these.

    I like your quilt from scraps, reminds me of a little like a Gees Bend quilt.

    What a brilliant idea, and I know just what you mean about needing a break sometimes from precise piecing...wonderful results!

    It's a free quilt and I love how its evolving. My scraps don't even go together because of all the different types of fabrics I use.

    Love your improvisational quilt making! Scraps can be such an inspiration. Isn't if fun to just play?

    I like the sparkle of black peeking in these blocks! It is so much fun to play with little pieces!

    Scraps are the best, aren't they ? I try to sort out mine by colours. You created a cheerful and lovely improv' quilt. Red seems to lead the way although... black comes here and there and links all the colours together. I like it.

    Same colours, yet so different. I never throw out the scraps. They are too interesting.

    Make Scrap quilts of course! Crumb blocks, log cabins, wonky stars etc. Great fun being frugal.

      Thank you, Linda!

      Sometimes the restrictions we create bring out the best on the design wall.
      Besides, why waste?
