I
love this colorful scrap quilt!
Hexagon,
triangle and diamond shapes were easy to cut using Blue Wren's 3”
Hexagon set. My remnant bins are a little lighter now but I'm
reasonably sure that I will never run out of scraps.
I
didn't use a pattern: I laid out pieces on my design wall and started
sewing them into sections, then into rows. Finally I joined the rows
and trimmed the sides. I added borders in the same white on white as the hexagons. Lots of pieces, but accurate seams on my
Singer Featherweight made matching them a breeze.
I
used white thread to quilt an allover diamond pattern in a straight
stitch. Whatnots is 48” square.
Bonus
quilts made from leftover bits are so delightfully satisfying to finish.
