Lazy Summer Quilt Camp: Day #12

/ quiltinggail

Leanne, from Devoted Quilter is hosting the Lazy Summer Quilt Camp. She always has fun challenges and this one peeked my interest immediately!!!

Scraps, Beautiful Scraps

Day 12: Today’s prompt is “Scraps, beautiful scraps.”

I ♥️ scrap quilts. Years ago, I was all about dumpster diving at sewing events, pulling out those scraps others were throwing away. Then, I made a scrap quilt without using a single scrap of my own. That was the end of my dumpster diving days. I had, and still have, a plethora of scraps. I do not need other people’s scraps!!

I have LOTS of scrappy quilts … but I’m only posting a few of them today!

This is one of my favourite scrap quilts. In fact, I will be doing a workshop on this quilt in March at the guild.

In the Fall of 2022, I hosted a mystery scrappy quilt … this was my prototype. I originally made this quilt for an Island Batik challenge using the  “4 Patch Square Up” tool by Studio 180.

Then, in 2021, Kelly Young’s of My Quilt Infatuation, had her “Scrappy Improv Quilting” book published. You can read about it HERE. (And it’s a fabulous, wonderful book!)

I have made several quilts from this book:

Then there are the BOMs with Patterns by Jen:

As I look at these pictures, I realize that they are all made with Island Batik (Lumin Fabrics) scraps.

Don’t Forget!
