I know! I know! I should be concentrating on the UFO ‘one quilt into four’ project BUT somehow my mind has wandered and I’m wanting to throw the blocks of one of my scrappy ‘back-burner’ quilts onto the design wall…
This is my, never-ending, use-up-the-scraps ‘leader-ender’ project a la Amanda Jean Nyberg’s ‘Scrap Vortex Quilt‘. I’ve made several quilts by slightly adapting Amanda Jean’s method and see no reason to stop making them! It’s a way of keeping my little scraps of fabric under control whilst producing a fun quilt. What’s not to like? 😀
Well! When I say the scraps are ‘under control’…..
I keep this bin next to my sewing machine, pairing up scraps as leaders & enders whilst piecing blocks for other projects.
…. A few hours later….
I’ve had a productive afternoon sewing little scraps into bigger and bigger blocks. Still a way to go. By the end of the week I should have a finished quilt top to share in a blog post. In the meantime I’ll be posting progress on Instagram @allisonreid.neweverymorning and Facebook, NewEveryMorningPQ.
Linking with Beth for Monday Making. Beth has used home furnishing fabric samples to make a pair of patchwork cushion covers.

I’ve seen the cheerful Vortex Quilts! Your’s is sure to be just as colorful and cheerful! Lovely!
They are great aren’t they? I’m really pleased to say that since publishing this post I have pushed this one through to a finish 🙂
