Hello friends

I finished another scrappy quilt. I just love making scrappy projects. It is so satisfying to see the transformation from a pile of random scraps into the most dynamic, eclectic and at times chaotic (in a good way) piece of fabric.

A while back I made another quarter log cabin quilt (you can see it here); it was such a fun process making the log cabin blocks that I wanted to make another one. However for this quilt I assembled the blocks on point and added a small border around to allow he scrappy blocks to stand out. I can’t decide which arrangement I live better. But I love both quilts so much. To quilt this quilt I venture out of my comfort zone and deviated from my go to straight line quilting and I’m so glad I did. I used the Serpentine stitch on my Janome machine and I’m totally obsessed with the texture it provides; it give is so much movement and a lovely crinkle. For the binding I found a cute vintage fabric in my stash, she selvage said it was designed in 2001 and it just picks out all the colors from the blocks.

I just can’t get enough of scrappy projects. I’m already working on a couple more. I can’t wait to share with you.

Until next time

Martha
