I am so happy about this Scraphappiness finish!
The blocks were started last winter when I made strip pieced scrappy blocks measuring 3.5" x 9.5". Then I joined 3 blocks together which became a 9.5" square. The blocks were joined with yellow sashings with scrappy cornerstones.
It makes such a big difference in my ability to finish a quilt when I chose an easy quilting design. I often make finishing (everything!) harder than it really needs to be! So this time I just quilted horizontal wavy lines about 3" apart and it went really fast.
Here you can see the quilting lines on the back. The photo makes it look like it's kind of ruffled, but it's really not.
One of the things I love about this quilt is that every bit of it is made of leftovers. The scrappy binding was made from my basket of leftover binding strips. Purple was the most plentiful in the basket so that is what the binding is made of...majority rules!

Such a great finish, Kathy! I love your scrappy strips and how you made them into the 9.5 inch blocks. You've just given me an idea for my March tablescraps project!

Scrap quilts are the best. No cost and only our precious time. So good for charity quilts.
What a great way to use up scraps and make a beautiful quilt. Those are some very pretty leftovers!!
