scrap busting

with all this talk of scraps and scrap projects it might be time to bust my scrap box
besides there's unpicking to do on the swap quilt

where's the fun in that?!

now it's rather a pathetic collection but that's because...

so 2.5in squares, 3in squares (there's a mistake on the label - remind me to complain to management), 5in squares, 2.5in strips and strings

you know even the ugliest fabric is tolerable as a 3in square

once there is a nice collection then these projects look pretty tempting

ariane's scrappy string stars

lurline's scrappy dresden

or even this one which isn't a scrap quilt but was made with 5in charm squares but it would look fabulous in scraps

a bright corner's charmed to pieces

got me some cutting to do

year of the scraps

never mind year of the dragon - 2012 is definitely the year of the scraps.

here are just a few of the scrap-a-longs out there

stitched in color

just a bit frayed

pleasant home

planning to use my scraps for either a version of this

a rose by any other name

apologies to Will

with all the rain, cold, heat and humidity we've been having here it's a wonder there is a garden at all.

at one stage it was looking like the weeds might be featured

they may still be
