I May Have A Scrap Problem... It's HUGE!! (And A Giveaway...)

Hi, all!

I have some seriously excellent news...


This quilt top has gone from one small section (don't you love that little fussy cut flower?)...


...then it grew a little larger, until, like Clifford the Red Dog....


...it got HUGE!!!!  I really really love this quilt top, and I think Lilli will too - it's definitely blue!  I've named it Something Blue, in keeping with the name of the original pattern.  It ate up a lot of scraps, too, which makes it just about the perfect quilt!


Just as a reminder, I made this quilt using the pattern Summer Wedding by my friend Jamie Janow Elfert, and Jamie sent me an extra copy of the pattern to give away so that one of you could make it too!!  Just leave a comment below WITH your email address, and I'll draw a winner and announce it next Wednesday. 

And now for a little new inspiration (because we always need a new scrap project, don't we?) How about this great improv scrap quilt?


And isn't this the cutest little acorn runner?  It would be a great way to use up some small scraps and ends of yardage, and make your house festive for fall!


And last, but definitely not least, how about Emily's gorgeous improv star baby quilt?  Emily always does the coolest things with her scraps - if you want some awesome inspiration be sure to check out her blog!!


So that's all I have for today - one huge quilt, a fun giveaway, and some great inspiration!  Remember to leave a comment below WITH YOUR EMAIL if you would like to win the pattern - I'd love to see your version of this beautiful quilt too!

Take that, you little scrap monster, you!!

Hugs!

Sarah

  70. Hooray for you, for finishing. What a pretty quilt. This is going to be one she can love forever; it really is timeless. Don't be surprised if she hauls if with her to college. :) Thanks for the inspiration--I'm working on Christmas quilts for the littles in our family this week, finishing up some I started awhile ago and then set aside when I got distracted by "more urgent" quilts.

  84. The quilt looks wonderful. The scrap bin I use for blue fabrics is always larger than any of the others. Too bad I don't live close by, Lilli could help me sort it out and get it used up. Jamie designs great quilts. I was lucky enough to be her H2H partner the year the challenge offered the option to trade fabrics with another participant. Thanks for offering the giveaway.
