The blocks are 6" x 9" sectioned into 1" strips. I sewed all the neutral scraps to coloured scraps first, so it is a great way to use smaller coloured scraps with longer neutral strips and vice versa. Put them into piles based on colour, picked 9 different ones and sewed to the foundation base.

I actually sewed this quilt over a 10 day period over 2 trips to our shack. Just starting to get some lovely summery weather, sunny days and no wind - wonderful !

Wow Lynn-that looks huge! Did you use one fabric for the neutrals or are they scrap fabrics, too?

neutrals are scraps too.

Hmmm are you saying that one colored and one neutral strips are sewn end to end and then sewn onto a 6"x9" foundation like paper or fabric? Where all strips about 1 1/2" wide when you sewed them together?

Summer sounds wonderful. We do not get much winter weather here, 76 out side right now, but I still prefer summer.

That's exactly right. Strips were about 2" wide or thereabouts depending on scraps. I roughly sewed the strips so I would have different heights in each block. It was a real fun scrappy to do and I have a heap more scraps I could use, using light colours instead of neutrals.

Lynnie it is definitely a quilt that has to go on my to do list. I own so many scraps and I really like the look and feel of this one. Like wanabquilter, I see a book case. It looks both like a fun and modern quilt. Any idea on how you plan to quilt it?

Lynnie, it looks like a large bookcase! Love it.
