Summer of the Scraps – Quilt #2

I can finally announce that the second of my scrap quilts……made with 2-inch squares…. is officially FINISHED!!!

I can honestly say that I am THRILLED with this quilt.

AND, I think that, technically, it is one of the best ones that I have ever made!!

As you saw yesterday, the quilting was so much fun and I think that I accomplished my goal of making the white blocks shine…..

I spent extra time squaring the piece and making sure the binding didn’t impinge on the border quilting.

One of the more exciting things is the look of my 2-inch scrap drawer before and after…..

WHAT’S NEXT???

THIS quilting is FUN FUN FUN!!

I find that certain quilts are a drudgery to quilt and some just seem to skip along.

Fortunately, the quilting on my 2-inch scrap was one of the FUN, FUN, FUN times!!

Just look at the fun design that appeared in each of the four corners…..

It doesn’t get better than that!!

Come back tomorrow to see the reveal and also ogle at how many scraps I used!!

Please note that the Summit is free, but if you purchase any of the extras, I receive a portion of your payment.

Shrink Your Scrap Pile

Last week, I told you about the Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Summit, which kicks off on August 15.

As more details come out, this event just keeps getting better and better – you won’t want to miss it!

The Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Summit was designed to help quilters take control of their fabric scraps.

The Summit deep dives into guiding you to create a workable plan of action for your scraps. I’m talking about:

Building a collection of scrap-friendly patterns, projects, and techniques
Learning ways to organize and manage your fabric scraps
Eliminating obstacles that may be getting in your way of using scraps
Increasing your confidence with mixing colors and fabrics

Join 21 quilting teachers from August 15 -18 and get motivated and excited about organizing and using your fabric scraps.

I’m thrilled to tell you I’ll be teaching a class called “Stop Thinking, Start Scrapping”. It will feature tips and techniques that will help you actually FINISH the scrap quilts that you want to make!!

I can’t wait for you to hear from all the amazing teachers being featured and learn the best tips, techniques, and patterns to triumph over scrap overwhelm. It’s going to be sooo good!

These classes are totally FREE to you as long as you’re registered. Click here to get your free ticket!

You can also get your hands on the Scrap Success Bundle for a reduced price ($47) right after you register. After that, the price will go up.

The Bundle upgrade provides you with extended access to all of the classes, bonuses from the teachers, and more.

Hallway of scraps??

Over the years I have posted lots of photos of hotel hallways as inspirations for quilting projects. At this stage, I can’t remember when or where this photo was taken….

…..but I love the angles and shapes that are formed.

NOW, in my “SUMMER OF THE SCRAP” mode, I looked at this photo again and wondered what it would look like with scrap strips!!

THAT might be fun to play with and heaven knows, I have plenty of strips to play with!!!
