Monday

I finished putting some scraps together today

for this little quilt top.

This one measures only 35"x36",

but I began with only four little scraps of fabric

measuring Maybe 5"x 10" each.

I haven't yet decided if this will stay like it is

or if I'll let it grow.

Hmmmm......

I am satisfied that I got this far.

I think I'll fold it up or hang it up somewhere

and enjoy thinking about the possibilities!!!

This is how I often make scrappy quilts.

I first make the scrappy blocks

and eyeball the sizes as I go.

Then I lay them out and sew them in rows,

putting "like-width-sized" blocks in a row.

You can see my rows are all different widths.

Of course, I have to adjust some blocks by

adding and taking away fabric.
But I love it!!

Then....

I measure the lengths.

In this case, I barely had to add anything to

any of the rows.

They were all about the same length!!!

I was amazed.

Guess these fabrics just wanted to be

together.

They sure seemed to fit together

perfectly!!!!

Here's a close-up of my favorite little scrap.

This one measures only 3"x3".

Small but mighty.

It led me down a road that

got me to this quilt!!!
