Battle Axe-your quilt is turning out really gorgeous. This BOW has been so fun hasn't it.

So pretty.

It's done. I had to make some adjustments because of my 4 x 4's being too big. I added a purple inner border and then had to put in 4 spacers, but I did get the 4 x 4's turned correctly. Now to start on the civil war fabric one.

That turned out beautiful, Marcia. It's great you found a way to make it work without having to alter your 16-patches. You're so clever!

Hey Battle Axe, Your quilt is a beauty.

That is a stunner, Marcia!

Thanks for all the kind comments. Truth be known...there are plenty of points that aren't perfect. The bad news is that I still have a large tub of scraps of that fabric line. Lots of odd sized pieces, but if you want to make something with some continuity it takes more purchases. Vicious cycle.

Marcia, there are lots of scrap quilt patterns that would look great in your fabric collection. Maybe even just a baby quilt if you don't have enough for a big one.

I know just what you mean... I am working on a Farmer's Wife Pony Club quilt and I have collected so many great fabrics for it... I probably have enough to make 10 PC quilts! But once you have a collection together you can do other quilts with them. Fabric selection is done!

Marcia, How about making a scrappy Spider Web quilt with your scraps? (No pun intended.) Just use solid for the background and you can add more leftover scraps from something else if you want it larger. Would be gorgeous for a lap quilt and they are such fun to make. They are especially easy peasy with Wacky Web Triangle Papers from Missouri Star Quilt Co. Spiderweb's one of my favs when I want to de-stress and use up scraps. Even tiny scraps work at the corners. MSQC has tutorialds on both Spider Web and Periwinkle quilts. But I have to warn you, I find the Spiderweb addictive! I have 18 blocks made and want to make 2 more blocks (8 sections more) for a lap quilt 48 x 60 plus borders (or maybe just binding.) I ordered the mini templates and papers, too, but they have not arrived yet. I will probably use them for a Periwinkle quilt, using leftover Civil War fabrics from this BOW. Here are 6 of my Spiderweb blocks laid out on the back of another lap quilt. The green is just that quilt back showing around them and has nothing to do with these blocks.) Anyway this is an idea for using your beautiful green and purple scraps.

Thanks for the idea. I see you are in Florida, are you OK?? We just had a big misty rain here in Northern Indiana and according to the radar it was an outer band from Irma.
