Scraps! Outliving my stash! What was I thinking? A color shift!
I do have so many scraps. And they get to me. I’ve got to use them. The above quilt? All leftovers from some precut charm packs The sashing is leftover from a quilt backing. There’s greys and beiges. The on point setting makes it kind of interesting. It’s 60” x 72.” Pin basted and reading for quilting. The back is all leftover neutral odd bits.
As evidenced by my gravitation to Seth Apter fabrics and teals and blues and moody greens, there’s a shift in my preferred colors happening. Which definitely excites me. Except I have so much black and black and white fabrics. What was I thinking when I bought so much of these? A quilt at the end of this post partially answers that question. Like with the scrap quilt at the beginning of this post, this one is also from scraps of 5”charm packs. Leftover blacks provide all the sashing. If you look closely, you’ll see the variations.

And in true spirit of my scraps, the back is from various black and white fabrics that I haven’t used so far and definitely won’t.

Does all this mean I’m not buying fabric? Ha! Don’t be silly. Below is a collection of fabrics for my next quilt. I think I’m going to do a big glam clam - not sure. But meanwhile I pet this pile of fabrics and continue to ponder…

And last, my bed currenty sports a quilt I made during my love affair with black and white. It wasn’t a favorite when I made it. I even had it long-armed. And over the years it’s grown on me. But still, I’m done with black and white. For now.
