Ladies and Gentlemen the group has been busy, as usual. Here are today's offerings. We are all still working on scraps and orphan blocks and these samples show just how much can be accomplished.
Don't you just love scrappy quilts? I do. The colors and designs just seem to pop. Kay has been busy with this one and is now working on the bindings. Love it.
A close up. A simple pattern becomes a mosaic with scrap fabrics.
Many of us have oodles of scraps from prior projects or gifted from other sewing friends. This is a great way to use them productively and gift someone at the same time.
Now, a Sew and Sew post would not be complete without Jenny's artwork. Painting on fabric is so far beyond my realm. Jenny's color sense is exquisite. Check out this week's offerings.
All of these have an underwater quality to me. Beautiful waves of color with a prism-like effect.
Look at this one! The dark swirls look like sea weed swirling in the deep. I think that our Rose liberated this beauty.
Same color family, no dark threads.
Watercolor shades of turquoise, how lovely.
More purple in this sample, more structure in the pattern.
Similar pattern, look at the fine color shading.
Now this one has a little story. Jenny calls this her Ugly Piece. While working on this one she was interrupted and some of the paints dried before she could blend them. We felt that there was hope for it. Since we cut the fabric in so many little pieces we all felt that it was not such a hopeless cause!
Gratuity Moment: Waste not, want not. Benjamin Franklin would be proud of the use of all these scraps.

| Another simple pieced pattern absolutely charms with this great color combination. Susan used all fabrics with circles or swirls. Alternating one piece blocks and 4 patch gives a very modern take on a traditional pattern. Susan has a very modern esthetic to her work. Beautiful. |

| And last but not least, this Moda panel by Joan shows just how much the quilter can personalize such a piece and make a beautiful quilt. Pin basted, it has a way to go yet, but it will be adorable. |
