Scrappy Quilt #1 done!

People always say that these Scrappy Trip Around the World quilts come together relatively quick and I found that to be true for me as well. My least favorite part is ironing the seams of the strips in alternating directions, it's hard not to stretch and make things wonky but in the end it all works out.

This is a lap size made with 20 12" blocks.

I've been branching out a little with my quilting. I tried out sort of a scallop pattern. I absolutely love how it came out! It was really easy and fast to do too.

So, that's one scrappy quilt down! A few more to go LOL! At least my scrap bins aren't overflowing anymore.

So you mean I could do that quilting on mine??
I have a bunch of donated scrappy trip blocks to assemble. Perhaps two smaller ones might be better than a big one. I like your scraps! Lovely
