Festival of Scrappiness

Hot of the sewing machine and ironing board:

my submission for the Festival of Scrappiness

organized by Rachel of

Stitched in Color!

As I have mentioned before: 

I loved the Scrap Attack Quilt Along -

so many great ideas and tutorials,

so many beautiful blocks and quilts!

Here is my interpretation 

 "Mix & Match Scrappiness".
And all the scrappy quilt along blocks

that I have not yet tried,

will be tested in a future scrap quilt.

Please check out all the fabulous submissions

linked up for the Festival of Scrappiness!

For a while now

I have been fascinated by Scrap Attack 

hosted by Stitched in Color.

I checked out the tutorials and beautiful scrap quilt -

and finally got started.

But I couldn't make up my mind

which scrap block I liked most -

so I had to try several.

Have a look:

There is still some fine tuning going on

and not all rows have been sewn together yet.

But I like it!

It has scrumb blocks, left over HST's, strip blocks,

Granny square and hour glass blocks, and postage (well, a bit bigger).

I still meant to do the Japanese blocks as well,

 but ran out of time. Oops.

First my lay-out

did not have the added white sashing,

and looked a bit dull & dreary.

Now with white it looks so much cleaner & fresher,

nice!

And the racing flag border (?) gives it a more finished look,

even though I will keep it on 2 sides only.

Hopefully I will be able to submit a finished top

to the Festival Of Scrappiness,

taking place March 26th - 28th!
