After a really busy 2021, I'm back in the sewing room in a new house and a new town. Michael and I relocated to be nearer to family, and while there are still projects going on here at the the new house, I was inspired to use up a drawer of scraps to make my favorite kind of big scrappy quilt.
When sorting this drawer full of scrappy goodness, I cut the fabrics into 2 x 3.5" rectangles, and made 4" half-square triangles, in addition to the main string pieced blocks. These have been versatile units to work with,
I got pretty close to the bottom of this drawer, and I'm thinking of adding a row of small string-pieced blocks to the composition. As you can see, I've got lots to work with still, but I'm letting the project rest while I consider my options.
Here's to a happy and creative 2022!

So great to see your post!! Where are you living now? A move takes a whole lot of work, doesn't it? That quilt is going to be beautiful! I have fond memories of our crazy quilt group.
Big Scrappy is so you Barbara! It's great to be back blogging. Happy New Year my beautiful friend!
I thought maybe I'd just lost track of you like I have so many others! This is my favorite kind of quilt too; it's looking fabulous. Feels good to get all those scraps put to good use too!
