| how it all started I was cutting up my scrap basket and just started putting the squares on the wall randomly and then realized wow it could be another tessellation quilt a plus sign.. I love tessellation quilts after all math was always my favorite subject in school/college. |
 |
| so fun to see it grow and grow I just kept cutting from the scrap basket I was amazed at how many different fabrics were in the scrap basket! next it was onto the fat quarters in my fabric collection... |
 |
| adding that last row was such a milestone! |
|
| one of my favorite quilts I have made... Charming Addition. |
In the magazine they give a great gift idea suggestion using your scrap basket your stash to give a starter kit to a friend for a gift. I can see buying the magazine and wrapping it up with strips you cut in 1/2, this way you can make the quilt and give the other 1/2 to a friend for her to make the quilt too.
another suggestion is to trade strips with a friend for more variety...variety is the key here! like I always say its all about the fabrics!
