I had a plan for summery scrap quilt. The plan was to use up the box of pastel-ish scraps to make a new quilt for my bed. The only part I actual figured out was how many blocks I need, no specific yardage requirements....I'm winging it.
So I cut and I sewed using this book as a guide
and here's some of the progress...
so now the dilemma...I cut all my scraps, I've pieced about 200 of the 350ish blocks I need and I'm realizing I'm short on scraps in this color range.
Oh tartar sauce, now I have to buy more fabric for my scrap quilt!
The first of the "let's pretend I had enough scraps" packages came yesterday.
to which Twin # 2 says "uh, don't you have enough fabric already?"
Hello..... have we met?
Hugs and stitches!

Megan, this is hilarious!!! So many quilters can relate to this dilemma! You've done very well with your scrap enhancement!

I love it! Scrap quilts ALWAYS need more, new fabrics...that's the rule...that's why we always have so many scraps...LOL!

That's going to be a fabulous quilt. And of course we always need more fabric in order to create more scraps. Sheesh! LOL

I like how your scrap quilt is progressing. So you needed a little more fabric - some people just don't "get it" :0)

love 'tartar sauce' may I use that? You can never have too much fabric (same with yarn)

That is a great quilt. I see nothing wrong with buying more fabric in order to have scraps!! Makes perfect sense to me.
