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.
Great choice for the festival. What a clever quilt.
