First There Were Scraps ......

.... then strings, then blocks.

Now (insert drum roll) there is a part of a top.

There is a lot of infilling, because, as you know, I can't sew straight. Thank goodness I'm still making those strips. I knew they would come in useful!

Now where did I put that list of Autumn chores?

More soon.

OK. So how big is it now?

I've been thinking I need to quilt the center of mine before adding MORE, but now I think I will get it together and then hand it off to a LA quilter.

What do you think about the WEIGHT with all the seams? Maybe a fleece backing with no batting?

Beautiful, Clare! Enjoy looking at your quilt, the list can wait.

it's great. I'm beginning to resent I gave away three big bags of scraps.....

Wow, that IS an obsession . . . a beautiful obsession! Yes, how big is it? This is fantastic. I really like the arch shape you got from a strip with a round part, almost in the middle of the quilt. That's what I call serendipity!

Love how you arranged the blocks ... my Dumpster Diving is away being quilted ... can't wait for it to come back to me.

I suspect I will make another using this method - it is just TOO much fun!
