Scrap Strip Spectacular!

Colourful enough? And that's just the back!

I've been so busy lately with projects of my own and quilting for all you talented ladies out there, that my first 'flimsy' of the year kept getting overlooked and pushed to the bottom of the pile. 

This was the 'quilt in a day' project that I designed for Studio Quilters in January. Using my stash of 5 inch strip squares (sewn over phonebook paper) and a number of plain black and white squares, everyone was given a row to assemble. Then we put them all together and produced this rather interesting top. 



Now I have finally got around to quilting it and pondered over what to use for the backing. Well I had so many of the strip squares left, I ended up piecing together another 144 to make probably my most colourful quilt ever! It was another chance to play with circles, but I think I was trying too hard. Whenever I got to a plain white or black square, where it really showed, I wobbled!! But it is such a busy quilt, (I estimate 1500 pieces front and back), hopefully no one will notice. 





I hope to have it bound in time for the NSPCC sale at Allum Hall which is only a couple of weeks away - where has this year gone?!


Happy Quilting Everyone!
