I know I always have trouble with the seams in pieced backs so I tend to over pin. Thanks for sharing.

And I do love a good scrappy back so for me this one rocks!<br /><br />Actually what has been going around are quilts made with Bonnie's "Scrappy Trips" block pattern. She actually has a different (free) pattern that is a "Scrappy Bargello" (scrappy vertical column progression). I had been collecting strips to make one but had been ambivalent about how to control the size so have decided to get on the bandwagon and use my strips for "Scrappy Trips" blocks instead (that is, when I can get to 'em). This way, I can easily control the size by how many blocks I make.

My guild donates to a children's hospital and they get tons of baby quilts, but not enough larger quilts, so I'm sure it will be appreciated. I know exactly what you mean by the starting & stopping. It is nearly impossible not to have a tiny glitch. But I think it looks great!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-4544928141181197082013-03-19T01:52:13.876-07:002013-03-19T01:52:13.876-07:00What a sweet quilt!

Once I relaxed and stopped trying to make my quilts so "matchy-matchy", and looked at the overall look of the quilt (instead of each individual fabric scrap), I enjoyed the process so much more!! People are always surprised when they look at my quilts closely and see Pebbles and Bam-Bam as a square next to a floral or batik!!! Love your carrot and bunny fabric choice!gardenpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401840113446791143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-8221656248189565982013-03-18T20:32:56.406-07:002013-03-18T20:32:56.406-07:00A nice, summery bargello!
