Quilters Don't Do Random......

......or so they say.  Well I do sometimes.  Last week The title of my post was Stashbuster well maybe it should have been scrap busting.  My goodness I've had a good week but although I have used lots of scraps and emptied a basket or two these scraps seem to be never ending.  I cannot believe how many lap quilts I am going to get out these scrap baskets.  The strip and flip scrappy top is now complete and has a blue border from my stash.

Apologies for the poor photo

The light cream/white basket had most scraps in it and I decided the next quilt would be made up with wonky log cabin blocks which would use up the light fabrics.  I tackled the purple basket first, the basket with fewest scraps, and made 4 blocks and emptied the basket.  Whoop whoop! Then I moved on to the yellows 4 more blocks and finally the greens yet another 4 blocks. There is still a fair wee bundle of scraps left in both these baskets.  I played around with lots of different placements but because there are only 12 blocks completing a full pattern was not working.  I thought this design was quite striking though and the one I  finally decided on.



lighting not good on this one either



Well I am now delving into the blue scrap basket and once again this is where the random comes into play again.  These 6.5in square blocks are totally and I mean totally random.  I am not even trying to mix light and dark, patterned or plain.  I am not quite sure how this one will look but watch out for next week's instalment!

I have been waiting patiently on the weather calming down.  It has been really blustery this week and I need to take photographs of quite a few quilts, some you have seen snippets of over the last few months as they were being stitched.  I also realised this week I have not posted on my Gallery page any of my completed quilts for 2015!  Tut tut - duly reprimanded!  Hopefully I will get that rectified as soon as I get the photos taken. 

Why don't you delve into your scraps and see what you can make without having to spend any pennies!
