It's A Scrappy Mess

I looked out my window and what did I see 

a big snowy mess just a staring at me. 

(Sung to Popcorn Poppin')

Looking out my window I decided it was time to work on my Scrappy Mess.

The Scrappy Mess consists of a bunch of scraps from other 

quilts that I have made in the past. 

The blocks are 15 inches square and there is no 

rhyme or reason to getting them 

put together. 

Just sew. 

I think it will turn out really nice for a boy that needs a 

cozy blanket on his bed now that the weather 

has started to really set in. 

Love,

UFO's Finished

I've had some requests for patterns for the apron and the Hollyhocks quilt. So I am going to give you those now. 

The Hollyhocks quilt pattern is from Stitches and Sew Forth. Just call Becky for that and she will send it. She also has a mystery quilt every month that is a wonderful deal. That is how I got Hollyhocks. Her kits range from $29.00 to $39.00. That is for all fabric except the back and the pattern. You really can't go wrong.

The Solids Challenge quilt is Turning Ten by Tricia Cobbs. The pattern is on the right side of the blog. 

The Apron is Strawberry Licorice and the pattern is on the right of this blog in the sidelines. It's at Amazon.com. You can also see the Tutorial at Sew Much Good.

Thanks for liking my fun challenges.

Love, Grammy T.
