making quilt along plans
I am working on another scrap vortex quilt. You know, because I need two quilts that nearly cover my house completely...one just won't do! Ha!
Actually, I'm planning to make an easy-to-replicate layout, so I can host a scrap vortex quilt along this summer. Wouldn't that be fun? If you'd like to join me, start saving your scraps! The more the better!
I hope that I never tire of scrap quilting. I think it's a gift, in a lot of ways, to love scraps as much as I do. It's so practical and thrifty....it's so satisfying to use it all! The end product is pretty great, too!
Aren't those little ninjas cute??? I'm fairly certain that it's going to be one of my very favorite parts of the quilt!
This is awesome! I look forward to seeing this get started.
ReplyDeleteI am on a scrap mission as well!
ReplyDeleteI can't help seeing a map of the USA in the way you have the work in progress laid out on your design wall...a map quilt would be awesome. A scrap map lap (quilt) maybe?!
ReplyDeleteIt's like an eye-spy challenge to see if I can find any scraps I recognize!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteI just love scrapquilts!
Love your quilt! I'll be watching for an announcement from you re the quilt along, I have boxes of scraps!
ReplyDeleteYour layout on the wall reminded me that I have yet another project to add to my list--a design wall! Love the scrappy look of your new quilt! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so in!!
ReplyDeleteBring it on! I could a little guidance. :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to a vortex quilt along
ReplyDeleteI've never done a quilt along before, but a scrap vortex along sounds like a great first one! I'll keep saving scraps up so I'll be ready! Also, those little ninjas are too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to follow along and make one!
ReplyDeleteLove it - I've been looking for a quilt along :). Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing quilt, but I fear it's because your scraps are more colorful than mine. I'm in anyway!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm crazy but I'd love a vortex quilt along! I only have about 25 or more other quilts I'm working on!!! I look forward to seeing your plans.
ReplyDeleteHurray! I love your qal's! They are always fun plus I usually learn a lot too!
ReplyDeleteMy scraps are on overload! Going to give some away, auction some and make this with you this summer! Let's do it!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this quilt along. Your use of scraps is completely inspirational!
ReplyDeleteA quilt along with you would be fantastic! 😊
ReplyDeleteI LOVE scrappy QA's. I can't resist.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in. I have a lot of fabric from when I started quilting, 13 years ago and tastes change! So it would be good to use this fabric in some way xx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I'm in.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I'm in.
ReplyDeleteYes please!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt in the making!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! I'd love to join your QAL as I can't quite get up the nerve to try a scrap vortex on my own. Looking forward to it already.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait for this to happen this summer! I have a lot of scraps and LOVE your scrap vortex quilt! Thanks Amanda Jean!
ReplyDeleteHoly Scrapilciousness, Batman!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I can't wait for you to start the QAL now...I was just thinking that my scrap bins are way too full and I either need to sew them or destash...sewing sounds much more fun :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda
I'm in! My first slab quilt, which is my favorite
ReplyDeleteWas going to say, my slab quilt is just a lap size so am excited to make a BIG one!😀
ReplyDeleteHope to join you on this QAL. Great looking quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! My scraps are over flowing!
ReplyDeleteI am so in!
ReplyDeleteYes, mam I'm in, I've got soooo many scraps.
ReplyDeleteBring it on!!
ReplyDeleteMy scrap basket ( really a number of bags) is taking over my sewing room! A scrap quilt along would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have those ninjas too. :) It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am ready and scrap loaded!!!
ReplyDeleteCount m in - when do we start.
ReplyDeleteYou've tempted me to join a quilt along for the first time! I just love the idea of using all my scraps but when I look at them I start thinking - surely I can't put those fabrics together?
ReplyDeleteI'm in!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow there are some amazingly adorable fabrics in there. I love the scrappy look!
ReplyDeleteI already have a scrap load! I'm ready.
ReplyDeletelove all the pops of red!
ReplyDeletelooksa good idea but cut all my scraps up into 2.5" squares ready for a large steps to the altar quit so will have to use the stash, maybe the fabrics that I am now not too keen on!
ReplyDeleteCount me in
DeleteCount me in
DeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you! but will someone tell me what a scrap vortex is, I have lots of scraps, been quilting for over 20 years,
ReplyDeletebut have never heard that term.
