I have been up since 4 AM (nap coming later this afternoon). Rachel had to be at a meeting place at 6 AM for a competition some of our church children are attending. So I've been sewing a little this AM.
Here is my completed Scrappy Trips top. I used up some of my still leftover watercolor strips for the border.
Now for a few close-ups. When you see the diversity of these fabrics, you will wonder if I have another screw loose (thanks, Julie).
The point is...ANYthing goes in these scrappy quilts. As I have preached in the past...just spread out the attention-getting prints.
The inner border is the BACK of a brushed cotton fabric. It's 1/2" finished. Then I cut my 6" watercolor border that was left over into 3 two-inch strips (and I still have some left over!).
My next task is to have the patience to cut an entire scrappy bargello out of plaids. I have started using salad or spinach plastic boxes for storing kits in progress. I will need to clean out from under my cutting table (I cringe at the thought) to make room for more storage boxes. I am the president of the "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" club. We meet right next to Procrastinators Anonymous.
This quilt top measures about 41-1/2" now. After I finish my Florabunda quilting, I will pop this one on next.
