Yep, I said odd color. Not my usual background color. Really going out of the box with this. But it was a friends scraps. They were free, so I went with it.
This honestly started as a crazy batch of strings that I sewed up over the last year. I randomly sewed them and squared them up into 8 inch squares. Then they kept multiplying and sat in a bin for the last year.
Well, I set a date last week to finish. I jumped in my big scrap bin to find a background. What did I find but these already cut 8 inch squares!! A friend doesn’t do scraps, so of course I took them!!
I had to add a few pieces of another Aqua fabric that kinda matched it was all the cut off backing from another quilt. It was a little interesting cutting all the pieces from scraps, but it worked.
Then the backing some of the last fabric another friend gave me. Doesn’t match, but my goal is sooo getting rid of stuff. The label from my growing collection!!
So excited to finish another quilt out of a pile of scraps. I just have too much more to do!! On to next months challenge!
