Today was a rainy day – a great day to stay inside and quilt.
I worked on a quilt inspired by Bonnie’s Bricks and Stepping Stones pattern. I am making my quilt larger than Bonnie’s–mine should finish about 86″ x 104″. I am half finished piecing the top – 5 rows complete – 5 more rows to go!
I am determined to make this quilt from scraps. Placement of fabrics is totally random, no planning or engineering in this one to make it a “controlled” scrap.
I love all your scrappy quilts! When you buy fabric do you right away cut strips or do you save the fabric up for a major strip cutting day? Do you cut out 1 quilt at a time or do you end up cutting several different things at once? Just wondering about your system because you sure do use a huge variety of fabrics in your tops! Wonderful! If you blog about it – great, if you want to send me an e-mail I’m at evlouise@yahoo.com – got to change my user settings one of these days so that shows up!
Cheers!

Looks great so far. I made a quilt very similar to this one and it was a lot of fun. Used up a lot of scraps also!
What vibrabt colours – my favourite kind of quilt – totally random – and beautiful.
That looks gorgeous and I really like the black/white. Randomly placing fabrics is still scary for me – LOL – perhaps this pattern would be a good place to start working on that.
Norma, this is looking great! way to go to attack those scraps!
Another lovely scrap quilt. This is on my “do real soon” list. I have a large quantity of bricks cut from the last round of scrap cutting I did. Just have to pull some black/white strips to make the 4-patches with.
I really like how you used the black and white four patch blocks in there. Really makes it look snazzy!! The shop hop looked fun. Ours is next weekend and I CAN’T WAIT!!
I love that quilt pattern! I just made one in pastels, but smaller than the pattern. Now that I see yours, I may have to do a black and white with color one, too!

It’s looking great. I just love scrappy quilts.
go, Norma, go. Sew, Norma, sew! This is looking wonderful. Is it hard for you to just piece it randomly and you find yourself getting “matchy” with it?
Very good going Norma ! I am looking forward to see the full quilt.
Norma,
that is very cool…what a great use of one’s scraps!
