so scraptastic! || part 2 - 29 pieces!



WOW.   Just wow.  I am completely shocked at how well the majority of them turned out!  If you missed my first post of so scraptastic!, it is a must read, especially if you are going to critique my blocks.  ;)  All of these blocks are made from my scrap bin, and they do include projects that I started but never finished or didn't like, which ended up in the scrap bin too!  (Psst- Don't ever throw away pieced work, even if it is ugly!)  So if some blocks look designed, I promise I didn't do it!!  You're just seeing an old project.  :)

My blocks are listed in no particular order.  (If you are seeing wrinkles, it's because I didn't pin any of my pieces for this particular project.)

Here's a sneak peak at the quilt top.  (It will not be quilted until January.)




Are not some of those blocks amazing!  What is so crazy is that I would have never put together those blocks otherwise, and it's fun to see some new color combinations.


In case you missed it:
In Part 1, I talk about how this came about and what the challenge is.
In Part 3, I share with you the finished quilt and my thoughts on this process.


So which piece is your favorite??

  8. Love them all and the fabrics! Yum! Want to do a scrap exchange? Or 5" block exchange? That's my favorite way to get to try fabrics I dont have or know about.

  14. They turned out really well! Good on you!! I haven't tried this sort of scrap quilting yet. I think I'd find it really hard not to fuss over what colours went where and in what proportion. Bit of a control freak here!
