Oh Scrap! : Scrap-A-Palooza Quilt # 20 Part One

Even though I still plan to revisit a few more past Scrap-A-Palooza designs, I have been craving something new.  So I thought I would share another great idea for using up those scraps.  
...And that is a one block quilt.



To make this type of quilt, you just need to pull out some of those specialty rulers or dies.  You need a single shape that can be sewn together to make an entire quilt top.  Here are some examples I have:  a diamond, a 60 degree triangle and a tumbler block (Accuquilt die).  A hexagon is another good choice.




To help decide on a ruler/die, I look at my scraps to determine what shape will work best for the size scraps I have.  My blue and green scrap buckets are still overflowing so I think I will focus on cool colors again. 
I will share soon what I decided on!

I think I am happiest when I am wading in scraps...

I've been thinking about starting a tumbler quilt. I can't believe I am even saying that! But I saw one that Bonnie Hunter made as a leader and ender project, and oh, it is a wonderful scrappy thing! Can't wait to see what you choose!

Hi Cynthia! Your scrap pile looks inspiring! These days I have triangles in my mind. Diamonds are very good too. As I don't have any time to be in my sewing room I was thinking perhaps to do some hand piecing. Have a lovely summer! x Teje
