Super Scrappy love

Well, you know I’ve already made two Geesey quilts, but why should that stop me from sewing along with you? Of course, it doesn't! I wouldn’t miss out on that action.

This time I’m taking a deep dive into my scrap drawers. I love me a good scrap quilt and can’t wait to see how Geesey turns out à la scrap!

In yesterday’s post I shared three ideas for making a scrappy Geesey quilt. When I started rifling through my scraps, l discovered a great big pile of solid and ombre confetti scraps from the twin quilts I made for my girls. These leftovers are all cut in triangles, which - lucky me - can be transformed into appropriate triangles for our Geesey quilt. Yahoo!

Isn’t it delicious to transform leftovers into something newly exciting? After I trimmed up that particular scrap pile, I had a good start at a bright, colorful quilt. So, along those lines, I’ve continued cutting other happy scraps, especially solids and brighter shades.

I know the cutting phase of our sew-along has not officially begun, but thought it would be nice to give you an early example of where you could go, scrap-wise. Plus, if you are doing a super scrappy version, be warned that the cutting will naturally take longer, given that you’re working with more fabrics. It never hurts to get a head start!
