"Scrappy Sandwich" quilt that is!
It has been over five years since I made my first
 |
| The original "Scrappy Sandwich" quilt |
and it remains one of my most 'pinned' quilts on
Pinterest!
If you 'google' it, my quilt is the one you see!
 |
| 3.5" scraps |
And only yesterday it came up on my Facebook feed,
where it was shared, yet again,
 |
| From the original quilt |
I still have a little mat I made from the cutoff
corners...
And I have a tutorial on how to make the basic block on
my Tutorials page,
which I will be updating as I make this one.
I've been cutting 3/5" wide scraps for a while now,
and started piecing yesterday.
As I strip-piece I check their length on the ruler on
the front of my sewing table.
And when they are more than the required 10.5"
I put them aside for pressing and trimming.
Sometimes the pieces are just too wide so I trim
them as I go.
I've decided I need 80 scrappy strips to make a quilt
in a similar size as last time.
I will then decide what colour the background solid
should be.
What do you think...
should I go subtle like the original sand colour,
or maybe dark like navy,
or bold like aqua?
Suggestions gratefully accepted!
Happy sewing!
