Scrappytripalong is FINISHED!!! :D

Oh baby, stick a fork in it, IT'S DONE!!  ....all 96" x 108" of it....SEVENTY-TWO 12" blocks, ALL 2,592 TWO inch squares!!!


 The Saturday after Christmas, an impromptu quilt along blew up all over Instagram.  I watched for two days, and then I just couldn't stand it anymore :)  You can read more about my scrappy-trip HERE.

I started to make this beast on New Year's Eve and I finally finished it yesterday :)


This quilt is for MY bed :)


The fabric I used for this ALL came from my stash.  Most of it is old scraps from projects years ago.


I decided to make sure that there was a black row in the middle of each block.  It made me feel more comfortable with all of the wild scrappiness ;D


For the back and the binding I did have to buy new fabric.  I hit the clearance rack at Gracie Lou's.  These are three fabrics that I have been eyeing for a while now.  They have the PERFECT amount of funkiness for this scrappy monster!


For the binding, I found this black and white text print from the GREASE fabric line ...also on the clearance wall ;)


Now I just need to come up with Euro pillow shams to match.... hmmm, what ever shall I do?

  1. It's beautiful! I love that you added the black row. I've only sewn one block so far. I'll admit....it's hard for me to do scrappy. Maybe a common color in all of the blocks would help. Great idea!
