I've had scraps on the brain lately. First, I just finished working on a project for the No Scrap Left Behind blog tour with Amanda Jean/crazy mom quilts - which is going on now, by the way, so do see the terrific scrap-use, both on Amanda Jean's site as well as the blog stops. You may have caught a peek at my project on Instagram. I'll be posting the finish on Thursday!
So I took my sewing machine on vacation last week - for the first time! And it felt luxurious I must say. After I finished my project for the blog tour, and made up some sample blocks for Faith Circle, I just settled in for some random scrappy sewing making quarter log cabin blocks. I hope to keep on making these in amongst other sewing.
One more scrappy-related thing to share is a recent post by Jill/Pie Lady Quilts entitled "Spark." She talks about and shows several quilts that emerged from her scrap pile, and they're like no scrap quilts I've ever made! When I sew scrappy, it's usually without much consideration of what goes with what - seriously random piecing. But the thoughtfulness Jill showed with her scrap projects really gave me some food for thought. She sews mostly with solids these days, so her finished works are very striking, as you can see in the example below. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed her post and think you will too.
