I started sewing 2.5" squares together late last year. Late as in probably in the week between Christmas and the new year. Then in January I had enough sewn together that I made blocks and assembled a quilt top. In February I finally quilted it and finished it up using leftover yardage and batting from other projects. I love that it is 100% completely made from scraps.
Scrappy quilts are my favorite.

ReplyDeleteI love how the open spaces give the scrappy parts some movement and make them stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan!
DeleteOh, this is so much fun! I may have to "borrow" your idea. I have lots of scraps that I could use. :)

This is a great scrap buster and want to see yours if you make one!
DeleteI love it! Love the way the quilt is framed by a border of 2.5" scraps too!
ReplyDeleteThe way I made the blocks made the border instantly exist!
Deleteit's beautiful and vibrant. and reminds me that my scraps are calling to me as well!
ReplyDeleteScrappy = best!!!
DeleteWonderful! What a lovely quilt, all the little pieces seem to work so well together! Thanks for the inspiration, I have a sizable collection of 2.5" squares that need to be used!
ReplyDelete2.5"squares are one of my favorite things to work with!
DeleteBeautiful. I just love scrap quilts and your colors are beautiful together. I have a lot of 2.5" squares cut because I was going to make an Irish chain quilt someday, but I kinda like your idea better now that I see it. What size are the solid squares if I can ask.
