Working on a scrappy quilt and I now understand why I "scrap" so many of them! I want to color coordinate my scraps the close my eyes and grab two squares method doesn't work with me! if I don't like the colors together I search until I find a pair I can live with. I am struggling but I will prevail! I will finish this scrappy quilt before it finishes me! lol

Scrappy border quilt made for my aunt. You can't see in this picture, but I hand quilted a leafy vine design in the dark borders.

Today my favorite scrappy quilt is string quilting with a common color from corner to corner diagonally and dark strips on one side of this diagonal and light strips on the other side consistantly.  I like it because you can design with the blocks.

Hi Everyone! Very happy to be here & have spent way too much time reading (instead of working) and enjoyed every minute! Unfortunately, no net @ home so I can only check-in Tues-Fri while @ office.

Hope your recovery is swift, Terry!

terry! you so casually comment that you had your "gall bladder out yesterday"..! speedy recovery!

i am not a traditionalist in the strictest sense of the word when it comes to quilting. i love traditional blocks...but don' adhere to traditional olors or settings. i think that whatever you use it will "work" i lean toward dark for center...blak or dark tone of complementary color.

tell that fuzzy that the fabric is off limits till your surgery heals up a bit! lollol had the same issue w dh little doggie who just could not understand why he wouldn't snuggle her the way she loves....being held on his left hip...
......that he just had total replacement of lollol!!

I didn't mean that the diagram shown needed a third strip ..but in order for 1.5 x 3.5 to fit together as a square re rail fence then you would need a third strip...in essence in the diagram drawn the center sq is acting as your third strip but common to all re partial seam construction
