Erin over at Sew at Home Mummy is have a year long quilt along, called Classic Meets Modern Quilt Along. Erin is also a member of the same guild that I am. I haven't gotten to know her very well yet, but I have started following her blog.
Anyway, one of my goals this year has been to use up some of my scraps. So, I decided to follow along with the quilt along and make the blocks out of scraps (minus the white background). I also decided that I would make two of each block so that I would have 24 blocks at the end… the better to make a larger quilt. I'm not sure how "modern" using up scraps is, but it is working for me to be able to use up the scraps.
The two photos above are January's block, the {Polar} Bear Block, and the photos below are February's block, the Amethyst Block. The Amethyst Block involves some Y seams. The didn't come out at perfect as I wanted, but they will be all right.
Let's just hope that I manage to stick with this quilt along for the whole year!
