Just Get It Done Scrap Buster

7 years ago

Hey, y'all! Finally had a chance to sit down and play with some fabric today. I was inspired by Karen Brown's 'Just Get It Done' Scrap Buster Tutorial on YouTube. She used 8 FQs, though I only had 4 batik prints, plus a couple of random scraps. I still need to add borders to have a completed quilt top, but boy was this fast! Started pulling fabric & cutting at 5pm. Finished a little before nine. It will make a nice baby quilt once complete, probably around 45x45. Do you watch Karen Brown's tutorials? Here's a link to the one I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Zf8wuqUb8




Off to catch up on what y'all have been stitching.

Happy Quilting!

    Larri, that's one bright quilt! I like it a lot. It looks like a similar technique to the "Turning Twenty" series that was really popular a few years ago.

    Thanks, Donna...and it is quite bright!

    I imagine there are few new Mommas who would desire it in their current monochromatic or soothing pink/blue/grey baby rooms. We needed a new one, so I plan to toss it on the nursery floor at church for all the babies to roll & play. It will cover a multitude of drool! :)

    I love how vibrant it is, the blue is almost electric! I discovered this woman's videos quite recently & she's great. Quite knowledgeable in color theory too.

    Larri, I love it! I probably have at least 15 scrap quilts in my scrap bag right now. Ahhh if only time didn't move so darned fast!

    Thanks, Karen and Char!

    Time and Scraps, Scraps and Time...there's probably a country song somewhere in that! ;)

    Wow, the colors all pop. I can see a baby getting really excited over that.

    Nice and bright, Larri. I like quick, so will check it out!

    Valarie, I started making fabric with scraps but was using various shades of the same color. I'll work on it again when I want to sew but can't concentrate. lol

    Both the above quilts are great. And totally different. I'm so glad this hobby lends itself to such a wonderful variety of styles and patterns and colors. It keeps it from getting boring, that's for sure.

    Larri, I LOVE the bright colors -- especially the blue and the dragonflies. I find that bright colors and contemporary designs are a big part of what have interested me in trying quilting. I found one classic diamonds pattern I liked and showed it to my husband in two colorways -- he didn't like either, so I might be getting more support for the colorful quilts from an aging "hippie" too. LOL .

    I was surprised to see Bargello as a thing in quilt designs. My mom did Bargello needlepoint and I always found the patterns and color flows fascinating. The bright colors of the Eric Carle designs were certainly part or the reason we enjoyed his books and I am now looking forward to making some quilts. I need to stop talking and get to where I can start stitching!

    Littlehelen -- I love your hearts too! The softer colors are so appropriate there -- and the pieced fabric hearts are fun. I have so much to learn and play with.

    Great scrap quilt, Larri! And I have three overflowing totes/paper sacks full of scraps to make some charity quilts once I get all the boutique items made to contribute to my two quilt guilds. I’m off to the Karen Brown tutorials.

    Love the scrappy hearts idea, Valarie!
