Scrap Quilt.. I just got this back from my quilter last week and since I finished my Grinch quilt, I can now finish this one... I had to put binding and rickrack on this.. what a job.. it is 90 x 116.. for a king size bed.. these squares were made on a lining fabric..each square started off as a 9 inch and then you sew 4 together to make the block.. it was heavy putting the binding on.. it is funny.. this is made from my scrap box.. but when I was done, the box was still full.. how does that happen.??

putting the rickrack seem to be what I do, now that I look back at my quilts... I guess that will be my designer look.
23282111376What a great job you did. The quilt looks beautiful.
Adding the rickrack to the border is a good idea that I will retain.
Thanks for sharing.

I sew the binding from the back to the front, so as I finish the binding I am putting the rickrack on at the same time.. works great. same as I do my pot holders and it is easy to make miter corners..
3228LOVE the quilt - great job! My sister-in-law asked me to make a quilt/bed spread for their California King sized bed and I'm intimidated by the size. It will be as big as a pool cover by the time I'm finished. hehe

62461What great use of your scraps!! Seems to me that my pile too is like bunnies.. it grows over night with me knowing. Great quilt my dear, you did great work.
Ok, I just read some of the comments ... we've all got bunnies tucked away in our closets!
Warm hugs,

697You give me a good reason (or excuse?) to save my scraps and stockpiling them *lol* Your quilt looks beautiful with all the colors and the blue to keep it all together.

I have given away so many boxes of scraps.. with 11 grandkids and 8 of them girls , there is a lot of girly fabric in this quilt
299559love the colours and the scrapy look..the blue used in the sashing and edging is beautiful..adding the ric rac to the border is a lovely touch might have to borrow that idea..thanks for sharing marian

the blue fabric was purchased ages ago and I was going to make a shirt for the Hubby, it is a coral reef fabric.. but I used it here.. he lost out to a quilt..
45918I think scraps multiply at night. I have the same thing. Working on a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" 29 sq by 39 sq Your quilt is beautiful Like the rick and the blue. Maybe I will try after I finish the Irish Chain using 2" x 2" blocks. Thank you for sharing
