Yep that's right. My Scrap Attack project was making 4 quilts from my scraps as there were getting completely out of hand. And yes I made 4 quilts and still have enough scraps to make another 4. And there's a prize for me at the end of project scrap attack. I get to start a quilt that I just absolutely fell in love with the first time I saw it. So 4 quilts huh? Yep Scrap Attack number 1 can be seen
here. I won a bag of scraps that had the coral and brown fabrics. I never put them away so I used them up. I added the greenish yellow color. I love the combination of colors in this one. Not something I ever would have planned for myself. And that's what I love about using up scraps, you do things that out of your comfort zone.

And then there's freshly squeezed- scrap attack quilt 2 - I used left over strings that were just sitting there looking all pretty and a charm pack that I never put away. Front and back are all scraps

Scrap Attack #3 is a QOV quilt. Just used 2.5 in strips. I even got the binding out of my scraps on this one. Not sure how I ended up with so many 2.5 in strips of the same fabric but they were all in the scrap bin. And now put to good use!

And the final Scrap Attack is a graduation gift for a friend. She's going to University of WI so I made a quilt in her college colors. The reds are completely exhausted in the scrap bin. I had to break into a few fat quarters on this one, but the Red, White, Black and blue (from the QOV) scraps are completely under control and waiting to be replenished. I have the EQ file that I'll post on the EQ and Tutorials page later in the week if anyone is interested.

Isn't there just something so satisfying when you make a quilt from your scraps? I just love the feeling of making a whole quilt with the left overs from other projects. So nice.
I also finished a QOV that was sent to me from Marian. What a great pattern she used. I wanted to create motion in this so I had the feathers winding around the blocks. I was in a feather mood!!
Now with all that done, here's what I am going to start on next weekend, so excited!!!
Gorgeous quilts!
ReplyDeleteThey are just all so lovely and your quilting just makes them glow. I do like the boxed rectangle quilt and would love the tutorial once you post it up. In a feather mood - you are the master of feathers. You so deserve that special treat and what a WOW that one is. Share your progress.
ReplyDeletewonderfully outsitanding
ReplyDeletegreat shares

by making something for you!
we always forget about us, saying it is enough to make giveaways
but hey, does the cobbler fix his own shoes? nope-you deserve quilts and quilted homemade with love items
great job
Wow, very admireable... I am impressed that they are properly finished too, and not just to a flimsy stage which is what I would be tempted to do!! Well done, they are all gorgeous and you have surely earned your reward of a gorgeous new quilt to start.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Your quilting is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work! The quilting is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove Scrap No 1.....your so right about getting out of the comfort zone, sometimes the colours just fall into place. What a great treat to yourself, Common Bride looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts! I especially like the first one. The feathers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEvery quilt looks amazing!!! Loving those feathers though!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilts and great quilting!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed you got these all from your scraps (with a little help from a friend.) My scraps are just so varied and I never have enough to make anything but scrap quilts that you need the whole kitchen sink to do. Your quilting on the QOV is fabulous! Nice job(s).
ReplyDeleteAll of these quilts are gorgeous. Great job! Love your feathers on the last quilt too! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of scrap quilts. I especially love #4.
ReplyDeleteAnd what beauties you made, Sue. Congrats!

All fantastic. Love the QOV quilting.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilting makes the great quilts even better. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but #3 is my fave.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Freemotion by the River. Wow, that must have been a huge pile of scrap fabric. Did you take before and after photos of all the scraps? I love the quilt #4, that pattern is so strong. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I love that you set yourself such a fun challenge with such a great reward at the end.
ReplyDeleteDropped by from Freemotion by the River, what a fabulous collection of quilts and the majority from scraps - amazing :)
