A stunningly FUN scrappy finish shared during show and tell at Mid Valley Quilt Guild. The maker’s name is Sandy but she didn’t share the pattern source, or maybe I missed it. If you recognize it, please let me know so I can give proper credit. I think it is just wonderful!

Planning a big stitch border for my current quilt like I did for Nine Patch Jambalaya many years back. Lots of hot pink and red on blue shot cotton, then a gorgeous wavy edge, but not wonky this time. I’m traveling for the next week but in June it will be GO time on this project. I can hardly wait to start!!

Just finished the last quilt block for a new version of my Wild Romp design. I’m loving the pink ground but I wonder if the pale pink ones wash out the color of the others. I did have a plan for sashing, but I have to audition and decide if I’m going to stick with that. 🔜 This afternoon is Scrappy Sundays with Stash Bandit! Not too late to grab a ticket! 👍👍👍

My friend has this string quilt in her dining room and it’s one of my favorites EVER. The vintage vibe and all the wonkiness, the variety of values and the luscious Denyse Schmidt fabrics = 😍😍😍. Maybe string piecing would be a good topic for Scrappy Sundays with Stash Bandit?! Are you coming on Sunday? Don’t wait to save your seat for just $12. I’m excited because there is so much to share!
