| Japanese X block |
instead of just randomly picking scraps and sewing them together? What do you think?
I started these awhile ago then jumped into Scrap attack but when I put this little quilt up on my design board to have a look........ well it might just be too much going on! I think it is hard to see what the block started off to be. So I think I am going to stop here and quilt it for a baby quilt. Time to move onto the next project.
Happy Sewing, Kim

This quilt is amazing! I love the scrappiness, it makes it look so spontaneous and lively. Your colour choices are brilliant!
You are right sometimes scrap turns to mush. You could try a narrow sashing. I found that helps sometimes or as you said some unifying element. This quilt has great colors and will make a great baby quilt. You are right when a quilt no longer speaks to you its time to quit.
I agree with Bonnie, a very narrow sashing may just calm it slightly and then you might just fall in love!
I love it!! Is there such a thing as too much scrappy???
All of my quils are scrappy. I love this one. Maybe you could add a narrow border which will kind of contain it. Use a domainant color or fabric.
MMmm. I like this one. ;)
I love the scrappiness of this one. I wonder what a solid sashing would do for it. Great colors!
It is only too scrappy if you were going for the design to pop. Looks good to me!
:-}pokey
Never too scrappy in my view. I absolutely love it!!
Sometimes it works. I like the color in this quilt - Hugs Nat
I love this piece! Yes, there's a lot going on, but it's very interesting. I have cut a bunch of these blocks in every conceivable fabric for a retreat next week. I can't wait to get started! I hope mine is as wonderful as yours.
I just finally saw this, it is wonderful! Can't have too much scrappiness - or chocolate! Seriously, it's lovely!
