Scrap Snap Quilt Along

60" x 72" 

I love a rainbow quilt and a scrappy one is even better! This is my quilt for the Scrap Snap Quilt Along. It's made complete from scraps in 12 colors. I was able to use 2.5" squares and strips, 5" squares, and even a few 4.5" squares. The pattern is very easy and seemed to  go together quickly even though there are little pieces in each block. I loved that you didn't have to follow the pattern exactly and were free to make changes to fit your fabrics.



I used this gray print for the back and binding. I'm still trying to use my stash but the choices in the gray prints are getting fewer and fewer. There is a large pile of scraps that need to be put away after this quilt and I still haven't tackled the ones that need to be cut from the last few quilts. But I did manage to clean my room up. We even tackled the craft closet yesterday. Am I too late for spring cleaning?

Gander Lake Quilt Pattern


60" x 72"

This is my latest quilt pattern called Gander Lake. It's a bit more modern than what I usually do. But I love the simplicity of it! It's made from 12 fat quarters. I used 4 colors (yellow, light gray, medium gray, and black) with 3 of each color. I wrote the pattern with the no waste flying geese directions, which also means no trimming!


I was inspired by one of Kelly's recent quilt backs (from My Quilt Infatuation) and a lack of fabric shopping to piece my quilt with matching prints. It was a great way to use up fabric since my quilt shop has been closed. But I have to tell you, these kinds of backs are my favorite!

You can find Gander Lake in my shop here.
