Over the course of three years, each month I worked on the blocks in the called for colour. Scraps was cut, sewn, ironed and the blocks assembled. The stack of little blocks grew, until I had enough blocks to sew the top together. This happened and border fabrics was added. The top with the binding went into the rubbermaid for to be quilted pile and sat in there for almost two years.
Over the summer I learnt how to longarm quilt and I got to quilt this one myself. The binding is on and the quilt got washed and is now dry. The irony of it was suppose to use all the scraps, reduce the scraps of fabrics so that the scrap pile would be gone, did not work. After sorting out the sewing room, instead I now have a rubbermaid filled with scraps from all the leftover fabric from completed projects over the years. The plan this fall? to sort these into shape groups and start sewing those together each month with RSC26.

RSC has taken stalled projects, to finished projects. Thank you, Angela for hosting SoScrappy!
It's beautiful!!! Well done you! Great job!
ReplyDeleteDone! It is quite a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteYour OMG! is beautiful! I agree, making scrap quilts doesn't really lessen the amount of scraps, it just makes for more chaos. Oh well, there's always another quilt to make and making them in conjunction with the RSC is the perfect way to finish them. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful. I can only speak for my scraps bins, but they multiply at night in the dark, so I'll never run out. LOL
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW! Funny how using so many scraps doesn't seem to reduce the remaining pile of scraps. It does, as you pointed out, result in finishes. This is a finish to be very proud of.
ReplyDeleteit turned out really great!! and quilted - good for you
