    My vow again this year is to use up my stash. I love the look of a full-on "pull a piece out of the paper bag and sew it" method of scrappy quilts, but I also want to use up some of the bigger pieces given to me by a lady who had a stroke and could not quilt anymore. The mauve was probably from the 90s, when we were using country blue and mauve. As you can see from the bottom picture, I didn't want the background of the blocks to be too bright so I used the wrong side. (I use wrong side a lot.) This will go to the charity I sew for, and did not add side and top borders because would have put it bigger than the maximum size they want to work with, 40" x 56". Thanks for looking.
    I use the "non intended" side often too.

    Beautiful and sure to be loved by the receiver! Love the soft colors. I also have used the wrong side when nothing else worked.

    Oh, I like this -- very cute! Another idea for me to use up scraps and stash fabrics. Thanks!

    Very pretty, Judy. I don't think I have seen (or noticed) that broken sashing before. It makes a whole different quilt.

    I'm not at all a control freak, but I just can't make myself use the "wrong side" on purpose.

    Beautiful quilt BTW!

    oh how cute! Is this going to be one of the mystery quilts? I think it should be!

    I would consider it a controlled scrappy. It is very beautiful.

    I love this quilt. As PaperPrincess already said "scrappy but looks elegant" is the perfect description for this quilt. Well done !!
