This is the second top I've made from Crazy Mom's "No Scrap Left Behind"book (I previously posted about it here) and the fifth modern quilt I made with scraps this year. With the exception of the June quilt which was made with feedsack scraps, the scraps for this quilt were from all of the Cotton + Steel quilts I ever made since the fabric line came out as well as the other modern fabrics which I don't use or have as much. This is a happy quilt because my modern scrap stash is pretty low now which means I need to make quilts with new modern fabrics so I can replenish my stash. As much as I like the "cleansing" feel when making a quilt with scraps, I need to re-stimulate myself with the new fabrics which have been sitting too long on my shelf. Tula Pink, here I come, oh wait, there's new Cotton + Steel fabrics. I'm hoping to start quilting the Scrap Happy Rails top today since the backing has been sewn. Maybe I should dangle a fresh fat quarter of new fabric in front of me to really help me press the metal to the pedal?
