Time to show you another of the scrap quilts! This is one that wasn’t in the plans either. As I was nearing the end of cutting up all the scraps, I seemed to have a nice sized pile of little strips that hadn’t been cut into anything else.
So of course I made a log cabin quilt, as one does! I used my favorite shade of vintagey green/blue for the center blocks. In such a wildly scrappy quilt, it can be nice to have this little touch of connection between the blocks.
I ended up loving the blocks in this quilt so much, that it’s almost a favorite! I guess there are a lot of little bits of my most loved fabrics in this quilt. And it always amazing to see all these different fabrics sitting next to each other in a block. I keep seeing a different block that is my new favorite!
I decided to quilt this one in the ditch between the blocks and then tied with yarn in the center of each block. I love the feel and texture this gives the quilt. It makes it a bit puffier and so soft and squishy.
And the Liberty of London backing sure doesn’t hurt it! I bought a big chunk of this fabric when it was on sale at Fabric.com and I wish I had bought more because it’s one of those pieces that I could back almost every quilt with. I love a two-color backing like this, and the shade and print on this one are the very best! (the print is called Capel by Liberty and it comes in a bunch of colors)
Dimensions on this one are 45″x60″ so it’s perfect for a lap quilt or child/toddler.
This is super cute, I really like the collage and varietyof fabrics. I'm working on one too. I would love to tie a quilt with yarn, but the bulk of the yarn won't go through the fabric. I've even tried pliers. Do you have any tips?
I love the different little motifs on the fabrics – scrap quilts are certainly fun quilts.
Another beauty! I like the fact that you chose a combo of ditch quilting and adding the yarn ties. Definitely a soft and pliable finish!
Wow didn’t this turn out beautiful! It is really coherent. You have done a great job putting it together in such a structured way. Lovely.
Love the lighter blocks all being on the inside. Makes the quilt have a wonderful glow.:)
Oh my I am enjoying seeing your scrap quilts!! Another beauty!!
Your photos are always so gorgeously clear and really enhance the beauty of your quilts. I would love to hear about how you photograph them.
I love scrappy quilts, yours are all so pretty!
