Scrappy 600

Last year I made seven busy print scrappy 100 patch blocks. 

Last week I finally finished a scrap quilt top with six of those blocks! 

I stuck with simple white sashing and borders because this quilt is busy enough LOL.

It has now been free motion quilted with a basic meandering, I bound it with scrappy binding too and it's been washed, dried on the line and is ready to use. 

I'll use the seventh block to make a cushion cover one of these days but for now it's still waiting for it's moment. 

A Multitude of Colour!

Look at this growing pile of bright 'busy print' improv pieced blocks. So luscious.

I started these blocks earlier in the week when I sorted all my charm squares and sifted out the bright busy prints as I went. 

I could've just made a boring charm pack friendly quilt but I decided to go for a scrappy look instead with improv pieced brick blocks.

Now I have 36 of them ready to sew into a project!

 

More Charm Pack Play

After colour sorting all my charm squares earlier this week I was eager to start using them.  I whipped up these two mini runners. I use these behind my sink to sit my dish liquid, hand soap & disinfecting spray on, they serve as drip catchers. I only had one and needed some spares. I'll probably make several more eventually. I used a quilt as you go technique with these so they are quick and easy to make. 

I also used all the earthy prints pile to make eight scrappy style improv pieced blocks. Because there were only a small amount of blocks I decided they'd be best used to make a couple of table toppers.

They turned out well and fitted the table between my armchair and hubby's perfectly. 

 

Pastel Play

Earlier this week I opened and colour sorted dozens of charm packs, One of the piles I made was a pastel busy prints pile. 

I could've made any old charm pack quilt pattern to destash them but I was more drawn to the idea of creating a scrappy style improv pieced project. So I whipped up these four test blocks and I loved them, so I kept sewing and made a pile of 36.
