A 30 gallon bag of scraps


 I mentioned my gifted bag of scraps in a previous post.  At first glance, that bag didn't look very appealing but the simple job of sorting them into lights and darks encouraged possibilities. Here is the pretty surprise.  Only a small amount of "lights" was needed from my existing stash.  It still needs some kind of creative border.   

It's hot in western Nebraska, upper 90s.

  4. You sure put those scraps to good use. Love what you came up with. And I bet the bag is still half full, lol. Enjoy the dithering for the border. ;^)

  5. What a wonderful scrappy quilt. I would almost be inclined to NOT put a border on it.

  8. What a wonderful creation from your big bag of scraps!! Did you have a pattern, or were you trying to replicate something you had seen? Or was it an original idea?
    A creative border isn't a bad thing, but I think a solid border would compliment all of the activity in the center very well!
