1QFAL: My Scraptastic Year begins!

If you know me at all, you know I don't do scrappy. Well, I do very controlled scrappy. I'm too OCD or something to venture into the crazy postage stamp, random world of Red Pepper Quilts and Crazy Mom Quilts. Love their work. But I've always been worried my poor little brain will fritz out if I try.

Well, I'm risking the fritzing. This girl is going scrappy this year. The ginormous bins of random scraps might have been a big motivator for me.


With that in mind, here is my list of what I'd like to accomplish this quarter:


Four Patch Star





Dark and Twisty




Flowering Snowball (after I fix all those dark orange pieces that are too close together!):



Ruby Grannies




Mama Said Sew D4




Posy Jewel Box




Capri Blossoms




HGL Nines and Snowballs




I Love Lucy Churn Dash




Quite Contrary Kaleidoscope




Flower Maxi





Double Eights




Flying Four



Kaleidoscope Flower



Silk Tie Pillow covers




Pleated Zipper Pouches



Feed Co. Weekender



Hobbes Softies (because we will have a Calvin and Hobbes party on Leap Day this year!):




And my almost finished temple bag. Just have to put in the lining (needed a smidgen more fabric for that!).



And my scripture bag. My husband bought me new scriptures this past fall, and they need their own pretty bag.




And a Valentine's Mini, because my walls look so very sad after Christmas comes down.



And two cute little Valentine's Pillows, because, well, just because! I can't wait to show you what I plan on embroidering on them - we don't do traditional love stuff around here!


And that's all. Ha. All. A whole lot of busy, but it's winter and what else is there to do but stay warm and sew?!

  6. I think your scraps are very nice and blend well together. Mine are more crazy pieces, the kind that don't blend well. Yours are nice. It's going to be a busy time. I'm looking forward to seeing your quilts!
