Green was the scrappy color of the month for August, specifically light and bright green. I already used light and bright green scraps when we visited green earlier this year, so I didn't have the range of scraps to make all of this month's Rainbow Sampler blocks.
I did make the Bouncing Betty block with some light green scraps.
Still, I had no lack of green scraps to use up. I finished piecing my green Trip Around the World quilt - and I still have lots of green scraps left! It was raining yesterday, so I took pictures of the quilt top draped over my sofa. Maybe I can get some outdoor pictures while I'm at the camp this weekend.
The quilt is made of 36 twelve inch TATW blocks. I added a one inch border and a six inch border of half TATW blocks (which are really just 9 patches). The finished size is about 86" x 86".
As always, the Happy Scrappers are sharing their green scrappy adventures over at Angela's Scrap Happy blog. And if you look carefully, you might see a hint about the scrappy color for September!
I like the name "Happy Scrappers"! Your TATW quilt is very happy... congrats on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteSo many green used this month. Love the TATW -- what a great scrap buster quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely light greens in Bouncing Betty. The TATW quilt certainly used up a lot of green scraps and looks fabulous. I've never been called a Happy Scrapper before - love the image it creates - boxing gloves on ready to tackle that bin of fabric scraps.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your Trip Around the World, lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat TATW quilt is wonderful Angie!!! I love it - those greens just sparkle with all the different shades :) We've had a lot of rain here lately too - it's raining now actually. But I love sitting on the porch in the rain, so I think I'm headed out there now to do some knitting :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday - football season officially starts this week I think - woohoo!!! Your Saints are looking a whole lot better than our poor Panthers this year - Ugh!!!
I love your Scrappy Trips quilt! I never thought about making a monochromatic version before.
ReplyDeleteLove your Green Scrappy Trip Quilt. A TRIP quilt if on my list of quilts to make next year.
ReplyDeleteTotally works!! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of green and a very gorgeous TATW. Oh, and I love that green fabric in Bouncing Betty that looks like lace.
ReplyDeleteThe TATW quilt is wonderful. I would never have thought of making it with one color. One more quilt to put on my To Do list.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy TATW, but up here in PA, we call that a Philadelphia Pavement quilt. I made a smaller one for a dear friend some years ago, in blues, yellows and whites.
ReplyDeleteYour Trip Around the World is lovely! I'm excited to try the ticker tape block she suggested.
