Last summer I was cruising the blogs and found another blogger that was using up bits and pieces, I dont remember which blog it was but it was for this Scrap Vortex Quilt. I
was so intrigued, I got out my buckets of fabric crumbs and I set to work making slabs, and more slabs! I drug this project around to housesitting gigs and just kept plugging along....it was like doing a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle trying to fit all those slabs together but I did it!!!
Now its DONE DONE DONE! Yay!
I give you SCRAP VORTEX!
For the backing, I used up a few big chunks of fabrics that I acquired somewhere along the way, I for sure didn't buy them. The fabric on the right has Quilts hanging on a clothesline, way too cute to cut up so this was a perfect solution for using that big piece up. Then theres a "Debbie Mumm" piece with quilting quotes and a cute little animal garden print. USED!
For the binding I felt this quilt needed a resting place, so I used a solid Aubergine Kona....my favorite purple!
I love it, its done...Yippee!!
