I cant tell you how excited I was to hear and see about this method of scrappy quilting called Flip & Sew. Kinda like paper piecing but without all the work. This is a great way to get rid of scraps of ALL sizes without tedious cutting of pieces into a pattern. Such a great quilting method for those that like to creatively “wing-it”. My friend, Darla, came by today and showed me her block and told me about this method and I had to try it for myself before I could sleep tonight.
You can google it and find several how to’s online if you wanna try it. Here is my first 12″ block.
Think I will do 9 blocks and then border them with a cream/ivory solid and then free form quilt them. So pretty!!
OK- gotta head to bed now, but just couldnt settle my brain until I tried it! I have a love/hate relationship with my creative juices 🙂

When I was a kid, my neighbor made all kinds of quilts. Since I didn’t have the patience to cut out all the pieces, I just cut out different scraps from material my mom had and sew it together however it would fit. I never finished the quilt, but it looked similar. I didn’t realize there was a name for that type of quilt! LOL! I love the color combination. Very pretty!!!
