I have always loved scrap quilts but didn't really know what made some really effective and some just "eh". I will now start looking at the ones I like a little differently applying the principles you have outlined. Looking forward to the next part of the series!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-27650547751996205652015-01-04T03:44:05.238-08:002015-01-04T03:44:05.238-08:00This is a great series.

I just finished a truly scrappy quilt top where I used up my 1 1/2" strips. Even with that said, I had to make sure I had blending colors and nothing that shouted "Look at me".
