Most of the time when I am sewing, I work on a number of projects at once. As I was sewing last night, I realized I really am a scrappy quilter at heart. I am currently working on testing a future pattern. I pulled all of the fabrics from my Kaffe Fassett stash and cut up all of the pieces.
Well, rather than focus on sewing the pattern quilt, I started playing with the leftover fabrics!
It is just simple patchwork with some 9 patch blocks...but it is already almost a quilt top.
You can probably guess that very little progress was made on the other quilt.

The scraps are certainly my favorite!

Just like a child who prefers to play with the box than the gift that came in that box; the box lets the child use its imagination. No lead to follow, no set mind frame, just pure fun. Your quilt conveys that very well: just pure fun. Love it! ;^)
The freedom of play! You never know what you will come up with, but once an idea hits...theres no turning back! I find using scraps satisfying. But I don't think I could work on so many different projects at once!! I don't know how you do that!!
I have some little squares cut out ready to baste to hexie papers for my EPP quilt I will do that in between outside work today.
I love the 9 patches mixed with solids...this is definitely your style!
Your Kaffe quilt looks like a PERFECT distraction. Run with it!!
Oh, yummy color scheme! One project at a time???? Not me!
What fun!!! Your blocks will make a psychedelic quilt. Love all those fabrics together.
What a great story! Of course scraps are fun cause the sewing of them is less serious and more like play. A friend gave me a huge bag of scraps and I've had more fun playing and organising them than making " real" quilts. I hope that you will continue to have fun!
Kaffe fabrics mixed with solids make a fun nine patch quilt! I can see why you were lured away Cyndy!
Funny! I would do the same thing.
You certainly made good use of the scraps!
I loved seeing your Kaffe Fasset fabrics on the wall. I am getting ready to make a king size quilt in blues, greens, purples etc. for our bed. (hubby says no orange or red). I guess I will just take all my reds and oranges and make a different quilt. nine patches always work. Love your blog and have followed for years.
Nothing like being distracted from the main plan! Hubby calls me Dori for a good reason. Your leftovers look good. I see a finish in your future!
Sometimes, leftovers are better than the original! :) This looks like it will be a fast finish and those are the best!
