Everyone loved the "back" of my quilt yesterday. I am now calling the scrappy side the front! Clearly the "unplanned scrappy" is my forte. I decided for a clean up project to take lots of scraps and make cloth from it.
Here is my top so far.
Have you ever tried just sewing various pieces together and seeing what you come up with? I highly suggest it.
I also used up some "spare parts" from making the Beginner's Quilt Along block 13.
I didn't really plan it, just started sewing.
I wasn't happy with Block 13 since the points were so bad. So - Wonder Under to the Rescue! I added fusible to the back of some batik and cut circles from it. Then I fused them over the points - even the row joining points that did match! I thought it helped to complete the design.
Now, how fun is that?

I love the circles idea - it's better than buttons b/c it makes it so much easier to quilt and gives the same effect. Also love the "free-form piecing" using up extra pieces. Great idea for using leaders and enders too.
Sneaky use of Wonder Under! About randomly making cloth from scraps, I've done it but not as wonkily. Your cloth is much more interesting and eye catching!
NICE!!! happy sewing!!
I love your free format scraps! Lately I find I've been using my scraps for swap blocks so they tend to leave my house. Maybe I should do something like this, then I would get to enjoy my scraps. Love your circle solution too!
I just love how you just wing it....you let the fabrics and project tell you which way to go and you never come up wrong.
Gene, I love both sides of your quilt! And the circles look great. You have such a talent with your scraps! :)
looking great! those scraps just sing.
