I've been trying to use up scraps this year (and last year) but I hadn't used any of the solid scraps yet. All of my solids scraps are cut into 2.5" squares and stored in boxes. Most of them are left over from making Minecraft quilts or Post Card quilts so there are tons of colors in my boxes.
When I was making the 4 patches, I accidently used the outside border pieces and made too many, so I got in my box and grabbed some more pieces. Yep, there is a second quilt coming...
For this quilt, I chose a triangle rainbow print for the back and a dark navy blue for the binding. I like that it is fun, but not too bright.
You can see in this photo, that I used EVERY color, even the natural tones of light brown and shades of gray. Light, dark, medium - they all go. No scrap left behind! Up next is the red version.
I love how this turned out! This would be a fantastic use of my 2.5" strips/scraps so I may be putting this on the to-do's very soon.
