WIP 1/9/13

First WIP report of the year!
 (unless you count the UFO post which is technically the same thing)


WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

 
 
I have been working on a couple things in the past week including, 
 
 
 my Scrappy Trip Along

 
 
 
and its cousin, the Scrappy String quilt done with all the pieces too short or skinny for the Trip quilt.

 
 
I also made lots of progress on an OLD UFO, Amanda Jean's 36  Patch quilt. Its all but done and I expect to have details to share on Friday.
 
 
And the following are still all sitting quietly in the corner waiting for thier turn: 
Rainbow blocks, Chubby Stars QAL, American Jane blocks, Round & Round, HST , Pinwheel Sampler, postage stamp, Swoon, Arcadia

    I like the scrappy string quilt you've got going -- I've been considering doing something similar with all the pieces of scraps I've been running into that just aren't quite wide or long enough to use for the scrappy trip along. :)

    The colors you pick are so pretty...they seem to pop right off the computer screen!

    I am in love with your use of colour... this quilt selection is just so bright and fun. A scrappy string quilt has been added to my list of things to do. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I, also, keep seeing the scrappy trip quilt. And I'm beginning to get the bug. But I really love your scrappy string. I think it is the color choices that make it work.

    I like the idea of the "cousin" quilts! So often I put aside the too-big-to-toss yet too-small-to-restash trimmings from quilt projects with no idea if I'll ever work with them again. Great plan to use them up as you go!

    Your scrappy string quilt reminds me of the beautiful quilts made by Guatemalan quilter Priscilla Bianchi. She uses all Guatemalan fabrics in hers, but they have the same vibrant quality and colors. I particularly like the blue swirl fabric in yours- it adds a lot of movement.

    The string quilt is a great idea to use up the rest of your scrappy strips!
