A while ago I read a great idea: when you finish a project cut all of the scraps to a certain size block to use later. I started doing that and cutting the pieces that were left into rectangles 3 x 5 inches. When I had lots and lots, I decided to make this quilt. I arranged them by color and tone and was very pleased with the results. I decided to quilt it in straight lines across the quilt. I didn’t think to change the sewing direction after each row so the quilting pulls the blocks out of square in some spots, but if you don’t look to closely and aren’t really picky, it looks pretty good.
- Some of the fabrics I was not so sure about while cutting, turned out to be some of my favorites in the finished quilt.

You are an inspiration! I can’t say I’m organized enought to do this but after seeing your quilt, I’m gonna give it a try!
