Clean Sweep

| Clean Sweep |
Using
scraps in a quilt is so satisfying to me. I like to call them bonus quilts.
This
one started with my practice block of the Chimney Sweep die. I liked
it so much that I built the design around it, using EQ8 for layout.
I chose a few jelly roll strips and cut other fabric from my remnant
basket. Quick and easy to sew!
The
clean look of bright colors floating on crisp white is just so
pretty. White sashing gives a bit of space between the blocks.
Clean Sweep is 50” square. I quilted diagonally across the blocks
with white thread, using a multi-stitch wide zigzag. It's perfect
for snuggling up with a book on a rainy day.

Side
note: I bought yet another huge pile of fabric at a quilter's estate
sale, thanks to a tip from my friend Pam and her daughter Tiffany.
I'm still counting and organizing, trying to find space to merge it
all into my sewing room. More later...
