Good work Mary!! Looks Lovely Kris

ooooo I love it :) I love the scrappy look done like that. I have plenty of scraps to do one, but I am scared I will mess it up lol. I am not good at seeing what looks ok where. How can you mess up a scarppy quilt lol I need to get over it and just do it I suppose. Anyhow, yours is very pretty :) I am reinspired. Thank you

Carissa

Thanks, Kris.

Thanks, Carissa. I cut the strips, put them into a paper bag, and drew them out one at at time. After trimming to length needed on the current block, the remainder of the strip was put in a second paper bag. I didn't pull from the second bag until the first was empty.

Dancing in the moonlight for ya, Mary! That's gorgeous, you're off to a good start for the year.

Well, Mary, you have bested me. (How I do love to be bested by somebody, assuming of course that they don't mind if I take their idea and fly with it.) It seems to me that your very special ingredient is the Smiley Faces on stars. Your quilt forces me to go shopping. Scrappy quilts are a special joy to me but the scrap collection has no smiles. This is an emergency. Thank you. Polly

Oooh, that's cool! I have lots of leftover RWB scraps from making QOV blocks. You've given me an idea about what to do with all those scraps.

Thanks, Kay Ahr in NV

Thanks, Karen. Now to get it sandwiched and quilted. I'm going to have to clear my sewing table so I can do some quilting. I have some already basted.

I definitely reduced my RWB scraps. :)

Howdy!

Cool!

I thought the red made it look hot myself.

Congratulations, Mary, on a delightful quilt top. Questions: size of block?; did you use fabric or paper foundation? I agree with Polly about how the smiley faces really pop! Pat

Thanks, Pat. It's paper foundation. The large blocks are 14 inches finished.

That is so neat!!! great job! i have soooo many scraps...what an inspiration! thanks! amy in CNY

Thanks, Amy. :)

Thank you, Mary. I have forwarded the link to friends. We always have some R/W/B scraps left from our Quilts of Valor. Of course it would be lovely in any color way. PAT

Lovely as always, Mary! :)

You are very welcome! =3D) amy in CNY
