Bloggers' Quilt Festival: Modern Scraps

Welcome to my second entry in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival hosted by Amy Ellis of Amy's Creative Side.

Modern Scraps is a cute and quick project I made using some strips I'd cut for a different project, but didn't end up using. I really, really love how the combination of brights with dark grey makes the colours pop.


Modern Scraps, entered in the #bloggersquiltfestival. Link in profile.
Measuring just 16" x 22", this wee quilt was one of two I entered in the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild's Modern Mini Showcase. VMQG was the "featured artist" at a local traditional guild's (Vancouver Quilters' Guild) quilt show this past weekend.

I pieced strips of solids randomly then cross cut and rearranged to complete the centre panel. The two strips top and bottom were added because they were left over and needed a home. Quilting is simple wavy lines, echoing at random widths.

    I love this. Simply love it. And the way your mind works and your hands create.

    The gray background really does make those beautiful colors pop. And I really like your choice of simple quilting.

    A little mini with a big voice. Love the quilting on it too. Leftovers lead to some of my best (or at least enjoyable) projects because they are like a bonus and somehow less pressure.

    I love this quilt, Felicity. What's not to love--it's solids!! (I also just voted for it. :)

    So simple but so effective. The grey background is the perfect foil for the colours!
