Ok, the other day, after working on the Zig Zag quilt, I was not happy with it's size. I wrote about adding borders, not adding borders, making more blocks, etc. I could not figure out what to do. As I was replying to a comment, inspiration hit! I was too busy to start that day, but here is what I came up with .....and the top is complete! Now, the quilt finishes at 66x84, which is a great size. Not too big, or too small...
I love the way this turned out. You know, if you've been reading for long, that I LOVE scrappy quilts. And, I've been using Bonnie's Scrap User's System for a while. Here is the result of trying to clear out some drawers. The only problem??? They are still full! I got a quilt out of this drawer and it's still full! (And, so is the one above it....and it's spilling out!!)Back to inspiration station!!!!
Happy Quilting!!!!!!!!!

Finishing a top and goodies in the mail! Woo-Hoo! You are having a wonderful day!
Fantastic! I really need to do something with my scraps...and you are absolutely right...doesn't matter how much you pull out of them they still stay full!
Right on! I love it. Oh how I do love it. I love coming and seeing all the inspiring things you do! Would you use border fabric if you had it though?
I love how the quilt turned out. Thanks for the inspiration on how to use up my scraps.
It's wonderful - perfect border finish!
It is just wonderful!!!!!!!!
You came up with a wonderful solution . . . . it looks great!

Mmmm - LOve it!
Your quilt is wonderful! Thanks for the studio cleaning tips too.
fabulous Paula!
It looks great!! I really like the look of this quilt.
Good luck clearing out your scrap bins, though what will you do if they're empty?!?
Wow your zig zag quilt is just amazing...
Wow, I love the zig zag quilt! HSTs are my favorites to work with and this showcases them beautifully! Great job!
I know exactly what you are talking about when you say the drawers are still full of scraps. I made a Virginia Bound out of my "strings" drawer. When I was done the leftovers would not fit back into the drawer. They now reside in a large plastic tote.
Loive the quilt. I added it my my list of future quilts.
