I finished this scrappy quilt a few weeks ago and I think I forgot to share it!
Sorry, I had to take some indoor photos because our weather has been wet and cold.
This quilt started when I was cleaning out a drawer of bagged scraps. I noticed that a couple of the bags had similar colored scraps and that is all it takes to get me started on a quilt.
First, I went through and paired up a bunch of triangles and turned them into improv HSTs. These were then sewn together with various rectangles, squares and strips.
I really loved the color combination. I did add a few bright red pieces into the mix.
I put one of my Connecting Threads purchases on the back. I quilted it with a edge to edge boxy meander and bound it with some dark green solid fabric that was in my stash.
I love to play with scraps!

Looking at your quilt makes me ponder my fabric choices. I need to pick out brighter fabric to put a little zing in my quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Oooh, this one is really bright and happy. I'm sure it's going to bring joy to the person who receives it.
Lovely finish on your scrappy quilt--I am working with leftover strings and have a basket full of crumb-cut-offs to make a crumb quilt in the New Year--I love scrappy piecing, too...nice work hugs, Julierose
nice quilt! great colors
I love this! Makes me want to make another Scrap Vortex. How did you decide on the color combination? Were they scraps from a particular project? Beautiful finish, Cyndy!
I love it! So fun and cheerful!
Those were fabulous scrap bags of color. Love it. Fantastic quilt.
That is a great quilt! I love what the angles do to make it so interesting and break up the eye path. I wish I'd done more of that in my Vortex quilt, but to add it now would not give the effect yours has. Great colors!
Way to work through those scraps, Cynthia!
Love all this! Good size too.
