Boy, once I get focused on something, it doesn't take me long to get it finished.
I posted a few blocks last Sunday, and now it is already a quilt top. I used a bunch of backing scraps for all the fabric. That is why long and narrow pieces worked so well. I am really happy with how it turned out. I should finish piecing the backing today and hopefully get it quilted up this week. I am so pleased with how many scraps I was able to use up. The blocks are 8" so this will be a nice size for Many Hands and Many Hearts.
Now I need to identify another scrappy idea to use up more scraps. I still have a lot of blue chunks so maybe I will just do something monochromatic with simple squares.
That will be a task for another day....

I love those green butterflies - they make me think Spring! That is a really pretty quilt top. It's good to see how many 8 inch blocks you need to make a good size for MHMH, too. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Good idea! I have a lot of quilt back trimmings as well as a small box of 2.5 inch bits and pieces. I think I will pick a couple of colorways and do the same thing!
The quilt top looks great! I love that it was able to use up so much of scrap backings.
That was a great focus!!!
That is a very fresh strippy quilt. Has a spark to it.
What a fun quilt to use up odds and ends. You'd never know it wasn't planned from yardage.
Such a pretty colorway!
That's a great way to use up scraps, especially the little bits from backing.
