Scrappy Design Wall

Last week I took an online/zoom class with Adriana Fagan called "Wild about strings". It was inspiring to see how many creative variations she has come up with for using up strings.

Instead of starting a new project, I focused on making more blocks for my scrappy string quilt that began in January. I strip pieced any width of strings and then cut them into 3.5" slices. Then I join 3 slices together to make a 9" square block.

I decided to start sashing the blocks with a solid yellow that was in the stash. Here are some sashed blocks on the design wall today.

You can see some easy breezy blocks peeking out on the left side. I'm already know that I am calling this quilt "Scraphappiness"! I love it! I'm not sure how many more blocks I will make or how big this quilt will be yet. For now, it's all just about having fun with the scraps!

This is a fun way to use up those strings, and don't we all have a bunch of those?! I like your yellow that will tie them all together, too.

That looks like a fun way to use up scraps.

That is a delightful scrap quilt. The yellow sashing lightens up the whole thing.

Scraphappiness is gorgeous. You are making me want to run to my quilt room again and pull out some happy scraps. Thank you for the inspiration and have a great week.
