Meanwhile, here is a picture of a quilt I made for a special friend. It is very scrappy. I used up some string blocks I had made and some orphan blocks. Then I did some "free pieced" blocks - what I call making fabric from scraps.

An oldie
No I don't mean me. Ha ha. But I guess I qualify also. Having been sick for the last few days I really haven't made or sewn anything else. I am headed back to work today. I hope I make it through the day.

Have you ever made a quilt that used up such a variety of your scraps?

ReplyDeleteSeems like you've been ailing for a while, Gene! I hope you feel better by the end of the day, work and all! Love that quilt. I have some orphan blocks I should try that with, who knows where it might lead!
ReplyDeleteAlways! Lol. Great one of a kind, Gene!
ReplyDeleteI pray you can make it through the day. I remember this quilt. I found a couple I am wanting to make on www.maryquilts.com.
ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular! I just love a scrappy quilt. Hope you are feeling better soon!

ReplyDeleteI think that quilt is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better! I dont think I have enough scraps to make a quilt like that. pretty amazing Gene, it really works out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is definitely awesome. =) I make "free-pieced" blocks a lot. It's my leader-ender project the majority of the time. I call them beepie blocks (bp - bits and pieces), but it's the same idea. Here are links to two of my favorites. one and two
ReplyDeleteWow!! Great quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI have a quilt I started in Samoa that has tons of scraps from different projects....
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt!
Love it. Scrap quilts are the best.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. We,want to see more scrappy goodness!
I have to admit I have only done one true scrap quilt and it was the bottled rainbows quilt. I love your quilt. The beauty of scraps is that the quilt is 100% unique in every way. Glad to hear you are feeling better!
