Sparkle - A Scrap Quilt

I grabbed my bin of 4.5" crumb blocks as a project I might, maybe get to during the Baltimore MQG retreat. Somehow, this became my primary project on Thursday. I started playing with the hundreds of squares and encouraged my guild-mates to lend a hand. I would go to my station, sew some half-square triangle units and look over to see what the design wall looked like.

I rearranged units regularly until I had something I thought would work. Then, it was late and I had had enough of sewing for the day. (Crazy, I know.)

Friday morning I decided the piece was good enough. I grabbed the first few rows, and the rest of the bin, and got to webbing the rows together. This was the final result. I think I'll dig through my stash for a suitable border to make it a little bigger. Right now it measures about 80" by 80". I'd like to add a border to stabilize it and bump that up a few inches.

Being able to pull a quilt out of the leftover bits is such a great feeling. Unless you worry about being a hoarder, then some of those fabrics from 15+ years ago make you groan a little.
