It started on New Year's weekend. A few people on Instagram decided to sew a scrappy trip around the world using the tutorial from
Quiltville.com. It spread like wildfire along the IG community and became a hashtag monster of its own, #scrappytripalong. Many drank the kool-aid, so to speak, including me. I made two tops total! The truly scrappy one is waiting to be quilted but here's a sneak peak.
The second one was made for a donation to Quilts of Valor. These came together pretty quick and I love how you can get different top looks out of the quilt. Just check out the
Flickr page set up to show all the photos (that's how many popped in to join this unofficial sew along).
So, I created strip sets, sewed them together per the tutorial and then finally ended up with a block. Then I had two blocks, three, and four.
The quilt was starting to grow.
I'm excited, I'll be attending a local sew-in for QOV this upcoming weekend and I'll be able to hand in my quilt then but before I was to do that, I needed to take photos for you. The thing is, I had a dog interfere. He wanted to model, I think. He was actually posing so, I figured I'd let him have his day and publish his handsome mug. I hope you enjoy.
And now some quilt details!
Cheers!
