One for Oh Scrap!

Here's one for Oh Scrap that Cynthia host's every Sunday.  I am always inspired by her posts and how she uses her scraps, it encourages me to use mine.  So little by little I am using them but man those things multiply way faster than I have time to use them, LOL.  I have heard many of you say the same thing-how does this happen!!  Oh wait I know, I just brought home a few handfuls of them yesterday from a friend who wanted to get rid of them.  I just can't turn them down or let her throw them out, that just wouldn't be nice of me now would it, hehe.  She knows I will eventually use them. As I was unpacking them and looking through them once again last night, I already saw a use for the blue ones!!

So what is my scrappy one for today... I was inspired by one I saw in a Schnibbles book in our local guild library. I used my own dimension's for it.  What I did was just cut my strings into 6" lengths, I used any width that they were, then sewed them all together in long columns. I made 4 patches and set them on point with tan triangles making columns of these to put between the strippy columns.  So the only purchased fabric was the tan, the rest is all from the scrap bins-yes I said bins, just being honest, haha.  It's all quilted and bound and ready for donation.  I kept the quilting simple with just a larger meander as the quilt is busy enough by itself. This was pieced early in 2015.

Linking to Oh Scrap today!  I am hoping for a very quilty week. With the cold temps that have set in now, this week is a good week to stay home and work like crazy!
