Scrap Attack quilt almost done

Yesterday, I has some time between visitors to work on my own thing.  What I chose to do was the Scrap Attack quilt.  I've written about it in numerous posts.  Just type in the name, Scrap Attack, in the blog search bar and they will all come up for you.  All the details will be in those post.

I left off with four more blocks to make and blend, to finish the centre of the quilt.  This first picture here is of the bottom right hand corner.  The way I know it's the corner is that all of the corners are blue.  The idea here was something I saw on a quilt that my mom made.  It was called Fractured Diamonds.  In that pattern the perimeter blocks created a faux scalloped border.  I am doing the same thing for this quilt.

All but the top right hand corner blocks were made by someone in the guild.  I just finished making the top right hand block .  Whenever I had to make a block to fill in the empty spaces, I tried to make them blend in to their neighbors.  Perimeter blocks were a bit easier due to the blue diamond/scalloped edges.  I thing the block I made looks like it fits in.  What do you think?


By the time I took this next picture, I had the first border on.  This picture is of the top left hand corner of the quilt.  With the blue borders on, it's easier to see the scalloped border forming.  What do you think now?


Rather than tease you and wait until the full quilt is done....lol....here is the centre of the quilt complete.  It still looks like a bit of a jumble, but once I put the blue border on, things just seemed to come together and mesh a bit better.  I'll have it quilted soon, then I'll share it with all of you.


If you read any of the previous post about this quilt, you will know that this was a combined effort from the guild members.  They made a bunch of blocks.  I made some others to make the quilt a decent lap size quilt.  The blocks are paper piece.  The only instructions they got, was to think of me and make it scrappy and bright....lol....it is definitely scrappy and bright!!!

Stay tuned for the finished quilt....coming soon.

Take care everyone.
