I realized on Saturday morning that I had not spent any time in my sewing room the whole week. Determined to change that, I left the vacuum in the middle of the living room and decided to spend a few hours sewing instead.
I spent that time sewing together the blocks in this quilt. It is a scrap riot!
Here is a closer view. You can see it is just a bunch of 2.5" squares. Some blocks are framed with 1.5" solids and others are simply squares.
The quilt measures 70" x 90". I am sure I have a piece for the backing but I might have to extend it a bit for this bigger quilt. I think I just have 4 yard pieces. That will be a task for next week.
Quilting was definitely more fun than housework!

Wow! Great quilt!
I love how you framed every other one with solids!!!
I'm so glad you were able to just walk away from that vacuum cleaner and sew! It was time well spent, and you have a gorgeous quilt top. I need to remember that design. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Love, love, LOVE how your quilt top turned out, Cynthia!!
What a great scrappy quilt! Thanks for the great idea, happy stitching!
It looks great. I love those colours together. Well done. ;^)
Beautiful scrappy quilt top!
The frames take that quilt from beyond simple to stunning!
Anytime you can abandon cleaning for quilting is a good day! I love how this turned out and especially love the random dark frames throughout!
how interesting... the small amount of black lines just makes the quilt IMHO. Just like a dash of black ink on a painting makes it more interesting
Scrap Riot is the perfect name for this quilt. Those framing squares were the perfect choice! I agree with Jayne about abandoning cleaning for quilting! Well done!!!
Up your scrappy quilt is wonderful. I love the variety of your sashing colours. It makes it consistent and the bit of black just makes it pop!
Awesome quilt!
Hi Cynthia, that's a great quilt - and way more fun that vacuuming! Take care.

Another great scrappy finish - well done!
