Back in 2024, I played along and made blocks as part of the Seattle MQG's free BOM all from large scraps. Once the quilt top was assembled, it sat around for awhile until I pieced the backing. I found a mini quilt top and used that as the base and surrounded it with colorful batik fabric.
I did an all over FMQ meander. It took me awhile to get the right rhythm - I hadn't done any large scale FMQ in quite awhile. That mini on the back certainly adds interest but it did make my FMQ experience a bit of a bumpy ride! The quilt measures about 56" x 56".
I make a quilt every year to donate to my guild's (Triangle MQG) community giving - our quilts support kids in the foster care system. Scrap Play will my donation for 2026.
My quilt for 2025 was called Squared Up and is a free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop.
My quilt for 2024 was a scrappy HST, no pattern, just my own scraps and lots of HSTs.
Have a wonderful day!
Patty
