Scrappy Stash Quilt Along

I finished this one a week or so ago.  Made for the Scrappy Stash Quilt Along hosted by Ellison Lane Quilts, this wonky log cabin quilt top is made completely from scraps!  The challenge was to make monochromatic log cabin blocks from your scraps.  Sounds easy enough and the blocks actually went together really quickly.  The puzzle was how to put them altogether.  Initially, I had a random layout but on a whim, I decided to try a rainbow.  It worked!  I just had to make a few extra blocks to round out the quilt.  The quilt is bound in a blue on blue stripe and quilted simply on either side of the blocks in Aurifil 50 wt in white.  The busy scrappiness didn't seem to need any more quilting than a simple grid.  The back has a fun print with streamers and some colourful bits of leftovers.  Linking up with the Scrappy Stash QAL on Monday and with Amanda Jean's Finish it up Fridays.

Rainbow Flimsy

We have a Scrappy Stash  flimsy!  This was yesterday and you can see that there was official and possibly measurable snowfall.  Webster thought it was quite the thing.  Not only did this emerge as a flimsy but I also got the back made and the whole rainbow explosion of scrappy goodness spray basted.  It is resting on the floor, ready to quilt.  

The Blogger's Festival of Quilts is coming up this Friday.  I have already decided which quilt I am going to enter.  It's a secret.  What about you?  Have you entered before?  It is a lot of fun to see all the quilts!
