Burgundy scrap quilt

I get inspiration from everywhere!  I can't seem to stop the flow of ideas.  Now most would say that it's a good thing, however I sometimes feel it goes against me.  I keep coming up with more ideas on how to use up my scraps, and that would normally be a good thing, however I have already more quilts started then I can get done in a reasonable amount of time!

I do cut myself some slack when I am doing quilts for charity or when I am using up scraps to tame the mountain of fabric, so I guess I'm ok with this new quilt......lol......it meets both criteria.....lol.....sometimes I think I am my own worst enemy.....lol.....YES, I am starting yet another quilt!!  I just have to use up all the burgundy scraps I have! 

I saw this picture on Pinterest yesturday.  The source is Julie's Quilts and Costumes blog, called Design Wall Monday 11/28/2022, but I don't think she is the original designer, and she makes no mention of where it comes from.  


I am taking this inspiration one step further and I am doing it the Bonnie Hunter style with strings.  I've broken down the design a bit.  Most of the red parts will be burgundy strings, except for the middle block, which I will do an hourglass block instead.  I put it in EQ to check out my version of the design and I think it will work out lovely.  See picture below.


Today being Saturday, with no immediate plans, other than a walk later in the day, gives me a lot of time to play around in my scraps.....stay tuned.....it's either this or the tote I spoke about in yesturday's post...

Take care everyone.
