Scrap-A-Palooza! Quilt #15 Finish - Blogger's Quilt Festival

Sorry to not share this finish sooner but rather than write about this quilt twice in a short period of time, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone as they say.  The 15th Scrap-A-Palooza quilt is also going to be one of my entries into the Spring Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by

 Amy's Creative Side.

For those new to my blog, I host a series called Scrap-A-Palooza.  About once a month, I make a new scrap quilt and share my process as I put the quilt together.  It is usually shared in four parts.  And when I finish a quilt like I am sharing today, I link up all of the past posts so you can recreate a similar quilt if you are inspired to do a little scrap busting.

This quilt started with a need to empty a few of my color bins.  They were getting a little difficult to close.

In the second post, I shared my cut sizes and block construction.  I decided to go with a simple nine patch this time around.













Then it was time to get the blocks up on the design wall and decide on a final layout.  Lots of options were provided and the finished quilt top was shared.

And now here in the finale, there are pictures of the finished quilt!  I am quite happy with it - not only did it provide a home for a number of scraps but this quilt was fast and easy to put together..

It looks so wonderful there next to my little succulent garden.

My rainbow was missing purple so I decided to add it to the back.  This older Tina Givens print that was hiding in my stash was perfect!  I didn't have quite enough so I added a strip of an orange woven which shows off the simple swirl quilting nicely.

I will be entering this quilt in the ROYGBIV category.  I cannot wait to see all of the other eye candy that will be linked up this time around.  I always discover so many great new blogs to follow.

Here are mey other entries over the years:

If this is your first visit to my blog - thanks!  In addition to the Scrap-A-Palooza series, I host a link party every Sunday called Oh Scrap! Besides scrap quilting, I am always sharing lots of other projects in all different techniques.  I love to paper piece, EPP, and hand applique.  I hope you choose to follow along to see what I am up to next!
