I've been doing non scrappy things recently, so I quickly had to think what I could get started on to prove my scrappiness this month.
I have a background to make for a silly scrappy project, nick named Triffid - you might be able to see why....
It could be another quilt for Siblings Together as long as it will not scare a child!?
Another reason to make a background from scraps is because my neutrals scrap box seems to be constantly overflowing onto the floor. So it was obviously time to get busy with my rotary cutter and low volume scraps.
Will it do as background for my silly Triffid! What do you think?

Wonder what Leanne has been up to? A bit of paper piecing perhaps - in which case her scraps will be paper rather than fabric....I think you should go and check it out!
I LOVE your Triffid! Can't wait to see where you take it next!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to appliqué that monster down? It is kind of monstery, but terrific!

ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see how the triffid looks on (in?) the background as I think it's going to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Triffid is scary but cute. I'll think twice if it disappears from your wall one day.
ReplyDeleteI love the triffid- what a fun project! I bet a wee boy will have a great time creating an epic adventure involving this plant!
ReplyDeleteVery fun looking quilt! Looks like you're enjoying this.:)
ReplyDeletethis is really cool ! I love how all the background is unified by the one bold print running through it - or at least that's how it looks to me.
ReplyDeleteI love your "silly, scrappy project!" It looks huge, colorful, playful. Can't wait to see the next steps.

I hope I have correctly added myself, Withoutpins, and I've managed to put a link in my blogpost. I love scrap projects and it's great to be able to see what everyone is doing!
ReplyDeleteGreat triffid!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic, and not scary. Unless you're a fly, or have seen Little Shop of Horrors at an impressionable age.
