We were to make scrappy monochromatic log cabin blocks measuring 8 1/2" unfinished.
Once I got started, I had so much fun. Some nights it was hard to stop!
We needed a minimum of 30 blocks so that's all I did. If I had more time to devote to this, it would have been much bigger.
Seeing as though I was on a scrappy kick, I fused two leftover pieces of batting together, and the backing was a flannel from my stash. Woo Whoo!
The binding (also stash) is an orange called 'fizz'. I treated this quilt to some straight line quilting at random widths.
Yes, that's snow on the table. It looks like summer, but it was -7 when I took these pictures.
I'm quite happy with my little quilty. It measures 40 x 48 and as of today, I have a few less scraps : )

Scraptastic! I really like how it turned out - great little quilt to snuggle under, especially with that flannel on the back!

Absolutely lovely, Carla! I felt the same way that you did -- these blocks were so fun to make that it was hard to quit some nights!

What a fun quilt, Carla. It reminds me of the High Five blocks except that yours have more rounds. I love the fabric you chose for the back. It seems a perfect companion! (You work so fast!)
Your scraps look so good together. Your quilt turned out great.
Love it! Your colors are so pretty and that flannel was a great choice.
-7? Holy cow! I hope your beautiful quilt keeps you warm. :)
Love!!! You always make the most beautiful thing, even from scraps...
Carla your quilt is absolutely lovely. A brilliant way to use up the scraps and I think the grey blocks add a real "je ne sais quoi", a colour combination I would never have thought of. Very well done. Philippa xx
