    I love your scrappy quilt, they are my favorites! I like how you tied it all together with the black centers :thumbup: From all that fabric peeking out I would say you have a lot of fun sew days ahead of you :D

    For some reason, it reminds me of those vintage crazy quilts.

    did you sew the pieces for each square onto a base square or just stich and flip and trim? I ask because I have made several spiderweb quilts and you sew onto a base of paper or muslin. I just used muslin so I was wondering.

    Nice quilt. I also spotted your stash behind the quilt. And I thought I had a lot! Great way to use them.

    I'm really starting to warm-up to the scrappy quilts I see here on the board. Yours is really pretty.

    I love your quilt i prefer to make quilts with many different fabrics . I noticed all your other fabrics with some yardage to them and thought of a water color quilt that can be strip pieced .Its fun and easy. I have made 3 . One king one queen and one single . Name of book strip pieced watercolor magic by Deanna Spingola.
