Scraptastic Tuesday - December link up

I am so pleased to be able to let you know that I pulled out another of my newly sorted scrap bins - the red / pink / purple bin - and this time I did more crazy scrappy improv piecing. I was working more following the method I learned from Victoria Findlay Wolfe at her class at Sewdown Nashville.



Victoria, who is one of the nicest and easy to get to know people, wrote about this approach in her book, 15 Minutes of Play. Basically, you just sew together the fabrics as you like. I sat tonight for a little while with a show running on Netflix on the computer and just played about with the fabric. It was a nice relaxing end to a long day.



After a while I had this improv block. I have an idea that maybe I will make some of these with the warm coloured scraps and then cut them into some kind of shape that I can piece into other scrappy blocks I made the other day.

Add those warm colours somehow into those black / white / grey blocks that I showed you on the weekend. We shall see, I am sure that I can use them for something. And as you can see, there is no shortage of scraps to work with.
