A scrappy 2014?

If you have been visiting here for a while you will know that I like to save my scraps
and I usually have at least one scrap project on the go at a time because I am a
strong believer that if you save them you need to be using them.

My last scrap project completed was my
"Scrap Containers" to store said scraps in.

I am planning to kick off 2014 with two scrap projects.

"Japanese + & X Quilt"


These amazing blocks are all by Jeanette over at Gone Aussie Quilting and I will be using this TUTORIAL
My blocks are going to feature a lot of low volume scraps as that container of scraps is truly out of control!

the second one is the
"Tone it Down"
This one is actually a Quilt along that is being hosted by
"American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine and is all over Instagram.


If you are on Instagram and would like to see more blocks, search the hastag #apqquiltalong


I am doing the "Super Scrappy" version which means a lot of 1.5" squares and no strip piecing.
This option best suits my desire to bust my scrap boxes :o)

So if your looking for me, I'm in my sewing room cutting scraps for these two.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
See you in 2014.


hugs Sharon

  11. Couple of lovely projects there. I love your scrappy containers. I'd love to make some too but as I don't have a sewing room to put them in, there's not much point at the moment! One day! Have a great new year!
