After finally settling down over the weekend, I decided to start piecing Scrapitude into a top. The top is not yet completely pieced, but I did get a rhythm going and I did make progress. I might be able to finish it this weekend, which would go a long way towards alleviating some of the chaos.
The piece looks really cheerful, which is nice. Sandi said it reminded her of confetti. It does, so I might use that as a name.
As I was piecing the seam allowances were shrinking, I noticed how the lines of squares ran through the whole piece. I think it would have been good to make those all one color and not use that color anywhere else in the quilt — or only in selected locations that didn’t touch the squares.

And once again I will tell you how very much I like this quilt. I may have to make a Scrapitude myself one of these years.
It is an interesting pattern. I think there are a lot of opportunities for different ways of using fabric. I know that I would not have made this pattern with so many fabrics if it had not been a mystery quilt. I am glad I did it.
You wouldn’t want to make all the squares the same color because there are fourpatches of squares. but you could have some regulation in the colors so they made stripes.
Yes, I thought about that and was thinking of scrappy, but controlled somehow. Not sure I would make this quilt again, but it is an interesting pattern.
