Silly Scrappy Thoughts

July 25, 2011 by Michele

❥ Scraps are ideas you’re about to have.
❥ Love your scraps and they’ll love you back.
❥ Scraps are fabric too.
❥ Scraps = Small Cut Rags Attaining Proud Simplicity
❥ If scraps weren’t useful, they’d have removed the esses.
❥ Scraps are like common folk. When banded together they can do great things.
❥ Scraps are tiny chunks of rainbow.
❥ Scraps are ordinary until you make them special.
❥ Scraps. Yes we can!
❥ Scraps are like sparks. Only backwards. And misspelled.
Note: The above blocks are the beginnings of my latest quilt project in which I am using only scraps. 72 blocks down, 166 to go!
 
Have a lovely Monday, and I’ll see you soon!

    Gorgeous!
    I think that is the original and right idea of making quilts. Using scraps and not buy new fabrics and cut them down to blocks.

    I am a scrap collector (they drive my husband mad!!), but I am saving them for other projects. I think a scrap quilt would really be amazing. Can't wait to see it finished Michele!

    You are too much – in the best of ways. VERY funny. And true. All of it.

    To boldly go where no scraps have gone before 😉
    I'm sure that your finished scrapy quilt will be here in warp speed for us to admire :)))
    And awesome as always.

    ooo snap! I was messing about the other day with some fabric for a new spring quilt, but I think I will prefer to watch you make yours instead (me, lazy?!)

    This is such an ambitious project Michele. I love small scraps too, but sometimes they can be fussy to stitch. I really look forward to seeing your completed quilt. Sparks. That is really clever!
