Hi, all!
Summer is hard upon us here in Tennessee - soaring temperatures make it easy to stay inside and sew! I haven't had much time for scrappy sewing lately, but I have been finishing off some UFOs that are hanging around. I have been seeing some beautiful inspiration on Instagram, though, and maybe that will kickstart some scrappy sewing again!
Apparently these blocks are addictive - this poster has two different quilts started! Love those tiny squares...
Can you believe this was her first scrappy quilt? Great design!
An interesting treatment for a plain scrappy charm quilt! The dresden butterflies are a nice touch.
I love this idea for leftover t-shirt bits - and they could be used for re-usable shopping bags too!
Isn't this a great scrappy block?
It's easy to be inspired by Gee's Bend style quilts. This one is a beautiful example!
And you know I'm a sucker for beautiful pillow covers - this one makes my heart sing!
But this - an absolutely gorgeous disappearing nine-patch quilt made with 2.5" squares - this may be my next scrappy project. I've had my eye on this one for a long time! And I have such a pile of 2.5" squares - all I'd need to cut would be the red center squares!
So - do you see anything that makes you itch to get to your sewing machine?
Hugs!
Sarah

ReplyDeletethanks for the feature - I am loving my Dresden's and getting it all glue basted today ready for applique - it is really hot here this week to and I'm staying in most of the time
DeleteLovely scrappy inspiration! I have lots of seed scraps to grow one of those :-)
ReplyDeleteI follow a couple of these quilters, but you've given me a few new ones. Thanks for that. Those are interesting quilts but, man, such tiny pieces! That plaid looking one is the one that does it for me. But it's easy to love them all, right?
ReplyDeleteInspiration in every one, those flowers are so pretty, and scraps are always welcome to nay quilter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of these wonderful scrappy projects, Sarah!! They are SEW inspirational.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration. I too started the postage stamp one with solid squares as background. So fun
ReplyDeleteAhh, nice scrappy suggestions for sparking our ideas!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE sue_a_gordon's quilt. She has a Private IG so I am unable to ask her myself but do you know what pattern it was?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is "Plaid-ish" by Erica Jackman at Kitchen Table Quilting. I know because I've had my eye on it for as soon as I finish up a quilt with an obligation to finish. So many possibilities, but I am thinking Christmas fabric since plaid seems popular for that season. HTH
DeleteI'm also eager to try "Plaid-ish"! So fun to see another version highlighted here :)
DeleteNice scrappy quilts
