First, let me say that the 505 spray that stained my quilt came out entirely with dry cleaning, just as the manufacturer suggested.
Remove 505 with dry cleaning
Last weekend I taught my “Scrappy New Year” quilt at Studio Stitch in Greensboro, NC. Everybody brought stacks of scraps cut into strips of various widths.
We joined the strips into strip sets.
Then we cut the strip sets into 1-1/2 inch strips and assembled the pieced strips into blocks.
The blocks varied in size and shape, depending on the choice of the designer.
And there was at least one alternate layout for rectangular, rather than square, blocks. When the pieced strips alternated with solid strips the blocks went faster.
Eventually, everyone will have a quilt something like this:
Scrap quilt made with strips that finish 1″ wide
And as a last fun part of the weekend, I got to see a beach bag I made for our daughter several years go.
How was your week?
Zippy Quilts 
Wow, scrap heaven!!
And it hardly made a dent in the scrap P
What a fun class! Thanks for sharing the process.
It is similar to what several other people have done and we all enjoyed it 😁
I have a pile of scraps just waiting!
Scrap explosion! I’ve been working with 1.5″ strips, too, and now I’m piecing 1.5″ postage stamps.
Yes, I have a friend who has done those tiny postage stamps, but it is very challenging to match all those corners! Good you!
Oh I wish I could’ve been in your class – I could’ve brought scraps for everyone to use 🙂
Ha! I gave away as many of my scraps as I could
Cool scrap quilt! And yes, fun to see things we’ve made in the past. We visited my brother Saturday and I enjoyed also seeing the two quilts I made for him (with my sister.) They are still among my favorites. (I have a long list of favorites!)
I like a lot of my older quilts, but recently decided to give some to Ronald McDonald house because they were just in storage, not used in teaching or talks.
That’s a good idea. Of course my guild gives lots of quilts, so I could always give them that way. hmm…
Love your tote. I am not good with scrap quilts
No need to be good with every kind of quilt! I am not good with fussy piecing.
They are so pretty
