i MUST be thinking spring. i've been making these very BRIGHT quilts. :) I haven't been able to figure out how to get pictures on the new blogger and because of these quilts i wanted to figure it out!! and i had an upload button again so here we are. this star quilt is the start of my scrap frenzy. it's all scraps!! i started this quilt probably 3 years ago. it was going in a different direction and then i had the idea to use my scraps and i love that only two maybe three of my stars did i double because i didn't want to waste some of the stars i started with. <br />

this quilt is the one amandajean gave a class on in town here and this is my spin on it. i have always wanted to try a ticker tape quilt BUT if you know me at all my motto is go big or go home. :) not a good motto with ticker tape!! :) so i decided to put them together and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. this really is my new favorite quilt. it was so fun playing around with the scraps to see how i wanted the blocks. scrap theropy as amanda calls it!!! :) so true!<img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5zE5nuuXskSm52CcOrebvVNMOBtbZybmFmxbbvU8A2mU84W78PJMC4Rr7jJXOxZe00XsH4WiQ4Q9Nk29cvRwUZ7Q6g38UiPA7EYYjv87DIXH6zhXAKdA96oMo6FfqLN5JvLhqch3bSc/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKp5o1aXOD1rYTsTFkZVYe28vmzp-fr0QJhBYHwlcOoEsiaKLmeyc1FGijtxCp1Yf7_YNp8pGtq6ydBqoVz3V0c8VxUV6XXhp_gQBa-2IzahzP-nFOJROgBkTSVA2gx7l3y-yT_e4sWFY/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKp5o1aXOD1rYTsTFkZVYe28vmzp-fr0QJhBYHwlcOoEsiaKLmeyc1FGijtxCp1Yf7_YNp8pGtq6ydBqoVz3V0c8VxUV6XXhp_gQBa-2IzahzP-nFOJROgBkTSVA2gx7l3y-yT_e4sWFY/s320/009.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

some of the ladies at the class were SO impressive with the fact that they were all about trying things. i realized i needed to be more bold. so i don't know if you can tell but the top pic is circles so that it looks like pebbles. this is my very FAV!!! the bottom pic it flowers in different colors. i need to still work on it but i really like this one also. :)<br />
