The scrappier the better


I made this quilt in a flurry of cutting and sewing back in early January due to the #scrappytripalong frenzy over on Instagram. 

It might be my most favorite quilt yet.

    Yeah...there's just something about these quilts....fresh but nostalgic.
    That looks fab with the dark lines highlighting the diamonds!

    So....where is the one with the strips you sewed at Sew South!:)

    The dark framing of each section really sets it of. Looks great. I can certainly understand why it's your favourite quilt

    I love how you've put a dark fabric in the centre of each block. It really ties it all together.
