This quilt arose out of nothing more meaningful than an urge to use up some of the 1.5 inch strips I had collected while trimming down scraps. I keep all my scraps in plastic drawer organizers, and that particular drawer didn't want to close anymore. I was going to just throw some of them together to make quick donation quilt and move on with things. As I started randomly sewing strips together, I had fun remembering where all the fabrics had been used before and watching them come together in unlikely combinations. The more I sewed, the more I enjoyed the results until I was out of strips and still wanting to make more blocks. I even put together a
tutorial so other people could follow along.
If you have a few minutes to spare, head over to
Amy's Quilt Festival and check out some of the other entries. Be careful though, you might get lost.

You must be a fan of Bonnie Hunter's quilts! Love this scrappy one, aren't they fun?

It is beautiful! I love all those tiny squares!
After a 1200 mile move in the middle of the Blogger's Quilt Festival, I'm just now getting back to it.
As a scrappy quilter myself, I find your quilt absolutely delightful. What fun!
