I've been wanting to make a scrap quilt all year. It was on the w.i.p. 'need to do' list for ages, but finally came off, just cuz I kept ignoring it. But Rachel over at
Stitched in Color may just have thought of the vehicle to encourage me to make that scrap quilt a reality. She's planning a
Scrap Attack Quilt-Along & Festival of Scrappiness for January. Sounds intriguing, eh?
To get us thinking about scrappiness, Rachel is asking us to
show her our scraps. Really? Especially after seeing
her scraps, I wasn't too sure. (You might want to go check them out and then let me know how yours stack up. Or not.) Oh well - here goes nothin'!
My scrap basket {thanks, Mom!} measures about 18" both tall and across. It is stuffed full of scraps I've collected through swaps and saved from projects
this year! And my little grand-girl thinks they are as much fun as I do!
I'm with the grandbaby. I'd crawl in there for playtime!
ReplyDeleteSOMEBODY likes the basket :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat scrap basket, Debbie! Looks like you have a fun helper, too!
ReplyDeletei think i'll be playing along for this quilt too- it's going to be so fun :) LOVE your scraps!!
ReplyDeleteLove the basket!! I need something a bit bigger for all my scraps :)
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see your quilt started!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great start!!
That's a lot of scraps!
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad you didn't mention that your son played with his niece in the aforementioned scrap basket...
ReplyDeleteDebbie, love your scrap basket. What a great idea to join the quilt-along. I might join in, too. Scraps have been on my mind for a while now, I've been looking through Scrap Republic book and absolutely love all the scrappy quilts in there.
ReplyDeleteAh, Debbie, your scraps are nothing to be bashful about. Looks like a great basket of fun. Glad to see that you have a good amount ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks amazing! Love the toss it all in a basket approach. I've tried to keep mine culled, and somewhat organized in little zip plastic bags that bedsheets had come in, and so far that's working for me. I haven't been quilting nearly long enough to have as much as some. :)
ReplyDeleteHeh, hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family with a scrap toss :oD
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great basket and so full of scraps! Looks like little girl loves them!
ReplyDeleteI covet the size of your scrap basket and most of the scraps in it!
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of scraps! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's it? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh man, my scrap drawers overfloweth...to bags...to stacks piled elsewhere...etc. I think I need to do this scrappy quiltalong.
