So, I got to thinking......

Now that I finished my project, which I regretfully can't share, I have time to think again. Well, maybe I'm always sort of thinking of my next project, as I am working on my current project.....if that makes any sense.
 
So what was I thinking about you might ask, or not? About LEFTOVERS of all things. The leftover things I've been pondering over are more than just scraps.
 
5" x 8"
I have buckets full of QAYG scraps such as this.....in all shapes and sizes. I'm always squaring up or cutting down all sorts of quilted blocks. To good to toss but to fussy to join using my regular QAYG methods.
 
 
  My thinking got me this far....I'm still experimenting, but I think I'm on to something!!!



These are all scraps from my Ripple Effect I Quilt....some pretty good LEFTOVERS. I need a little more play time with this method, but all sorts of possibilities are clamouring in brain.
 
Unfortunately, my time at the coast is coming to an end this week....the good thing is I have lots more exciting LEFTOVERS waiting for me in Alberta, that I can't wait to dive into. The bad thing....I heard it was snowing there this morning!!!

  6. I LOVE scrap quilts and that's what this will be. No sense in letting those "pieces" lie around when they'll make a beautiful "scrap" quilt :) Enjoy the process....and don't think too much..just put it together. It'll work :)

  7. Hi there! I was snooping around google for a Modern quilt shop in Victoria and came upon your site. Your blog is wonderful! We are coming to Victoria again in April and I was wondering if there is a shop that carries Modern fabrics and such? I'd appreciate any help

  9. I love seeing how you bring things together . . . the leftovers are little works of art all by themselves.
