I vowed I would not buy anymore fabric until I used some up. This quilt is made out of lots of scraps of leftover tie dyed fabric, all sewn together in strips. I did it in a quilt as you go technique and used some wild leftovers for the back too. I didn't have enough fabric to just do it in one color.

Very pretty! Must've felt good to make a dent in the scraps!

I like the back just as much as the front of your quilt!! Nice job and what a way to get rid of scraps.

Wow!! So bright and cheery. I bet it feels good to use what you already have on hand. I should do another scrappy. I used up a lot of blues when I made Jim the Log Cabin for Christmas, but I still have a lot more.
