I have been sewing with scraps pretty much non-stop lately. It's addicting.
I love this quilt. It's living with me, so it cheers up my grey sofa very nicely.
This block is from Sunday Morning Quilts, but I changed the color scheme to be monochromatic blocks, rather than all scrappy. How does this barely make a dent in the scrap pile?
I quilted it with grey thread, in free form wavy lines.
I want to make more scrap quilts....

Courtney's Quilt
No fancy name for this quilt, just a bunch of pictures. I made this one for the office manager at work for her wedding. I followed the pattern from Modern Patchwork, I can't remember the name, and I'm too lazy to walk upstairs to look at the book...I think it's the first one....
I had some issues with this one, all those lines don't line up....but it's okay. By the last slice, I figured out I was doing the order wrong, and it's still okay that they aren't perfect. Only I can see it....
I quilted it in a radiating curve, from one corner....what a pain to get through the machine. And the center puckered where I switched directions, but after washing....only I can see it. :)
It's in her wedding colors, and she loves it. And I do too. It will get used and loved, and that's all that matters.
Quilt Stats:
Pattern: From Modern Patchwork
Various greys and purples, all Robert Kaufman Kona Solids.
3 black and white prints from stash
Border: Robert Kaufman Kona Ash (why have I not used this color before? Love!)
Bound: Robert Kaufman Kona Charcoal with a strip of navy (since she changed her dress color last minute from grey to blue.....)
