As I cruise the blogs I've been seeing a lot of coin quilts and with my love for scraps thought I should try a scrappy coin quilt. I decided to go with blue but didn't think I had enough for a quilt. I asked 3 of my friends to trade me some of their blue scraps. AFTER I asked for scraps, I sorted all of my scraps. I had one grocery bag and 2 gallon zip log bags packed FULL of blue. I guess I didn't need all their scraps but they sure added character to the quilt. They all sent scraps but 2 of them wouldn't accept anything in exchange. One box I got was pretty much cut into strips for me at 2.5" - How perfect! And most of the fabrics in there were sooo my style! I cut and I sewed and I ironed and I cut and I sewed and I ironed (refer to pics in last post) and Wa La!
Hopefully this gets off to the quilter this week. I had a few leftovers from this and am already working on another layout! Yay for scraps!
Until next time!
