Here is my strip bucket....
And then I had these little Bright Pink triangles.... I like Bright Pink. So I started adding Blues to them. I kinda sorta forgot that triangles don't make great squares in this manner...
But I had fun - and that is what counts.
Some of them finished square - most of them finished triangle - y.... but when you stack them, you sort of forget that they might not be square. But I pulled out my cream scraps - it was a BIG ziploc bag. And when I opened it - yep - I added oxygen - and it exploded!
And then I started adding cream, and started cutting, and rearranging.
And started making a row ish type layout.... ( this was at night - I just kept sewing and sewing and watching the West Wing. Cool show by the way)
And Now.... This is where I am.
I think that I want to make Blue Borders - goodness knows I still have blue scraps, the lid still doesn't quite close .....

Looking good - I love the improv blocks. Since you're saying goodbye to your blue scraps, you could call it "Bye Bye Blues."
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks!
ReplyDeleteoh I'm loving these blocks!
ReplyDeleteLooks good so far. Can't wait to see where you end up!
ReplyDeleteOoh I want to try some of those improv style blocks too! Maybe after my scrappy sampler quilt....thank you for linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI really do love how this quilt is coming along. I think a super scrappy border would be great. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHow can you sew and sew and the box STILL will not close? No need to answer that - it happens here too. :) I love that pop of bright with the blues. Leftovers are a good thing as far as I'm concerned!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lie a great scrap buster. You do improv very well ; )
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, blue borders are a must! It will be a very comfy quilt when the snow flies!
ReplyDeleteImprov blocks are so much fun! Enjoyed watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteVery modern! I understand just wanting to sit behind the machine with no rhyme or reason......very liberating! Make that border scrappy blues!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great quilt when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is coming together so beautifully. I totally get how oxygen will make the scraps explode out of the bag, mine do that too. I am so glad you are joining us for Scraptastic Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun quilt. How about "Not Just Leftovers" for a name.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and a perfect way to use up scraps!
