Tales From The Scrap Yard: Top #4

Double Four Patch
42  x 54

This is top #4 made mostly from some of the green scraps given to me a few weeks ago. 

As seen previously on Tales from the Scrap Yard




I made this one to use some precut scraps in the bag that were 3.5 and 2 inches wide. 

I supplemented those scraps with some 3.5 and 2 inch wide scraps still sitting on my cutting mat left over from making last month's green Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) blocks. 

I also had a few scraps of green left in my 2 inch scrap bin that went into the quilt top. 


 And I also used some precut 3.5 inch lime green and bright green squares I received last year from a quilty friend. 

More tales to come!

Your quilt glows like an emerald! My grandfather would have loved this quilt. He used to joke around "I like any color -- as long as it's GREEN!" :-)

I've always loved quilts with a definite diagonal design! I would never have been brave enough to put all those green together, but yours turned out really great! ---"Love"

Kind of an Irish Chain but mixing the larger green squares adds so much to this quilt. Congratulations.

Really clever use of those left over green scraps. I’ve never made a quilt using those diagonal lines created with 4 patch blocks. Oh dear, another idea for me to copy! Do you have enough scraps left to make Quilt No.5?????

Another inspirational scrappy quilt - who would have thought there were so many quilts in a scrap bag.
