I finished binding my third Sew Many Strips quilt yesterday. This one was all scraps with no thought as to color. I used up a bunch of ugly prints and busy neutrals.
I think Sew Many Strips is the perfect scrap quilt pattern. It uses strip piecing, so the sewing goes fast, considering how small the pieces are. You can make it completely scrappy like this one, or controlled scrappy for a different look.
This was my first one. I used blue, green and a little purple. I gave this one to my cousin who hosts our family reunion.
The next one is all batiks. I gave it to my sister. This one might be my favorite.
I have one more to go, done in fall colors.
Update on my quilt drawing. Not Quite Zuckerwatte went to my niece. This is a variation on a Bonnie Hunter pattern.
My goal is to finally finish up my unquilted tops. Three are done. Three more are at the longarmer, and I have many more to do.
The pillowcases I sent to the young adults in my family are starting to arrive. Say what you will about our postal system, but I mailed them Monday, and the first arrived on Tuesday!

Congrats on finishing another one! Sew Many Strips is a great pattern, and looks good in all sorts of colours and arrangements.
"Ugly prints" you say. Well all mixed together they make for a great quilt. It nice to see you finishing your quilts, Laura.
