From millions of little bits...

... to one big bit.

Finally, the Modern Sampler Quilt... out in actual sunlight :0)


Unfortunately there was also a bit of wind, but you get the idea.

Complete with the quilt holding monkeys...
I love the fact that this quilt is made from "scraps" - leftovers bits from other projects - fond memories.  While it has done nothing to diminish that scrap pile - it has helped me to realise that it is possible to mix all sorts of styles and colours of fabric - from bright to subtle, bold to tone-on-tone.  It has been great fun and launched me onto two other scrap (busting I hope) projects.

The eagle eyed will have noticed that there is no outside sashing (yet)... I just wanted to get this progress posted, with plans to add the final sashing shortly.

It is amazing what a pile of scraps can be turned into!
