Vintage scrap self-challenge




Yes, I have won yet another pile of someone else's unwanted scraps. This batch had an intriguing assortment of vintage (early '60's???) pieces that appear to be fabric samples as they are all the same size and include different colorways of the same prints. Some are quite pretty, others less so. I tried to sort them into groupings of somewhat coordinated colors as the assortment taken as a whole was...um...difficult to do anything with. I have an idea for one of the groups, the one with the warmer colors, but don't want to cut into those babies just yet. Click on the pictures to see them in all their dubious glory.

Have you seen the "crumb quilts" they are talking about on various lists? That might be an interesting way to use your vintage scraps.

Of course if it were ME, I'd do a hexagon quilt with them. ;)
