- nice and tidy, yes? Ha! The scraps have way outgrown this space, and much as I love them, I want some shelf space back. And floor space. So I'm into round five or six of "My Scrap Bag Runneth Over," my work series dedicated to making quilts that are not only scrappy-looking but really made out of scraps.This week's project -- using up some of the scraps left over from the Center Diamond One of Each 6" fabric club I belonged to for several years - lots of 2"x 6" and 2" x 4" pieces. This "plus sign" design is perfect for using these, and I got on a roll on Friday night, staying up into the wee hours laying out this:
I'm pretty happy with it, but debating whether that white/blue leaf print in the middle stays or goes. Is it jumping out too much? Do I take it out, or try to find another couple of white background prints to scatter around the top? Decisions, decisions...
I think the leaf print has to go.

ReplyDeleteYep, leaf is gone. Replaced with a print that is not as interesting, but interesting isn't necessarily what this needed right there.
ReplyDeleteI like the plus sign quilt in the link you sent. Looks as though that one is done all with squares, which I have to say would probably be easier to construct!
