Here’s one of my many WiP (works in progress).
Last week I pulled out my ziploc bags full of scraps, and started piecing by color.
I surrounded each block with a white border and another border of color, then pieced them all on a solid grey background. I hadn’t really planned the final size, and as usual when I improv piece, the quilt ends up bigger than expected! It’s about 50 by 60 inches.
This past weekend I pieced the back, and this week I plan to layer and quilt it.
I’m linking up with these blogs for WiP Wednesday. Click on the buttons below to see all the people participating, and check out their projects.
What a pretty start to your blog! I love the scrap quilt!
Terry, I like to play with scraps too. It sometimes amazes me when I see the finished product. As usual your artist side shines with this one.
Terry – this is AWESOME!
How fun. I always love the wonky improv look. I really wish I had the courage to do it. Your quilt looks amazing.
This is SUPER fun. I LOVE it!
Very nice Terry! I like the way the colors look against the gray background.
A great project, Terry … I love the wonky look and the way that you have brought in the white!
Thanks so much for all your comments. I’ve started quilting it – vertical straight quilting lines. It’s looking good.
Beautiful scrappy quilt! Love the white strips – they just add the right amount of sparkle!
Great scrappy quilt , interesting design !
That is such a cool idea and a great way to use up scraps. I’m going to give that a try for sure. 🙂
What a great idea! I have tons of scraps, I just can’t make myself throw them out, You’ve definitely given me something to think about.
I think that white inner border is brilliant!
Playing with a rainbow of scraps? Sounds like fun to me! I love the results!
WOW….I hope you bring it to next month’s meeting. Would love to see it close up.
I am looking forward to seeing your creation too!
I saw the back come together so I can’t wait to see this all done!
Looking good Terry! Welcome to the blogosphere!
I love you rainbow of colour blocks.
