  All sewers have tons of scraps with no clue what to do with them. The white boarder around each scrap really brings the whole thing together. What a wonderful project for every sewer, great idea!!

  This pattern is really nice, looks like a lot of fun to make too! Hm, maybe my next project will be something similar to this one?

  WOW! I absolutely love it! I have thought about making a quilt with all my scraps like you did, only problem is, is that I’ve never made a quilt and wouldn’t even know where to start…. or finish for that matter!

    Thanks for your lovely comment. Making a quilt is surprisingly simple, and I think great fun (I don’t actually really like this one so I’m already planning another one)
    This one was slightly more complicated than my previous ‘couch quilt’, but still relatively simple – all straight lines at least! There are stacks of different designs for quilts out there, and you sew together the blocks until you have your assembled quilt top, you then make the sandwich with the top, back and wadding and do your quilting (which is just sewing the three layers together), and add a binding (for which there are stacks of tutorials for on the web).
    I needed a refresher before making my two quilts this year so I went to the local library and they had a whole heap of quilting books which take you from the start to the end of the process.
    If you’re hoping to use up your scraps i’d suggest doing something like i did for my couch quilt to start – i cut the scraps into the same sized squares, arranged them in a random pattern then sewed them together (first into rows, and then sewed the rows together), and voila, quilt top!
