Scrappy Tumbling Blocks Quilt

I had so much fun with this quilt! Like many of my fellow quilters, I have a mountain of fabric scraps threatening to overwhelm my sewing area. I just had to do something before I was swimming in scraps. So - this quilt was born.


I decided that I was not going to pay any attention to color scheme and had an "anything goes" attitude. I'm quite pleased with the result. I happen to love the scrappy, eclectic look so this quilt is right up my alley. This quilt brings up so many happy memories for me. As I look at each block, I am reminded of quilting and sewing projects past and I'm thrilled that I've preserved tiny bits of my favorite fabrics so that I can cherish them always.


My daughter seems to love it as well. She sits and studies the bright colors and fun patterns. By the way - she's wearing a onesie that I embellished with a quilt block. Another fun way for me to use my scraps. The only problem is that I've barely made a dent in my scrap pile! I guess I'll have to start another fun scrappy quilt. Back to work for me!
