Project 1 & Inspiration for Patchworky style Scrap quilts

Good Morning Bloggy Land! I was thinking... Normally I feature a Quilty / Sewy blog on Monday Mornings in my regular feature called Needle little Inspiration. But today I wanted to do something a little different.

So before we put the pedal to the metal. {that would be your sewing machine pedal!} I thought I'd share a little Inspiration in the form of some Patchworky style Scrap Quilts.

Does that get your juices flowing? Awesome Inspiration, don't ya think?

This week we'll start on Project 1 ! I had lots of questions in regards to my Scrappy 2009 quilt. So that's where we'll be starting! I consider the Scrappy 2009 quilt to be a Patchwork style Scrap Quilt. It's easy peasy and I can't wait to see your first block!

Your first assignment for Project 1 {the Patchworky style Scrap quilt} is this:

Take a look at your scrap stash. Be thinking what colors you will be wanting to use in your Patchworky style Scrap quilt. I didn't use any brown, black or purple background fabrics in mine. You will find; Blues, Reds, Pinks, Oranges, Yellows, and Greens.

Maybe you have a lot of earthy colors? Maybe you have a lot of Browns, Blacks and Purples in your scrap stash. {Wouldn't that be a pretty quilt.} Perhaps you don't have any Yellow at all. My quilt would have a completely different look without any Yellow, but I think would still be a fantastic Scrappy quilt.

Do you want your blocks to be colorful and bright? Do you want them to be muted? Do you want to follow Jacquie's { Jacquie G photostream } lead above and make blocks all one color?

Assignment for Project 1: Look at your Scrap Stash. Be thinking what colors you'll be including or not including. Perhaps you'll be including them all! It's totally up to you.

And remember, these are your scraps! If you don't like your first block. You can always make another and it's O.K. So don't stress over it. If you find yourself unsure and uneasy, then walk away and wait until we start sewing. Inspiration will come!

Oh and a little birdie whispered in my ear that there is going to be another Scrappy Give Away today! How seriously cool is that. I'll let you know when it's up and running!
