Go ahead and say it, I really think I am crazy most days!
Most of you know, I'm a scrap-a-holic!
I can't bear to throw them away. I know there's a quilt in there somewhere, so into a tote, box or bag they go.
This was my batik bin, which was overflowing, so it was time to find a good scrappy pattern to work on. Bells went off in my head...
Last year Toni over at "Red Boot Quilt Company" hosted a year long free BOM that I fell in love with. Lots of fun little blocks that were a the perfect scrap buster.
All 121 blocks worth, not including the border blocks. That was another 98 blocks!
This is "My Favorite Things"
It's a biggie. My son and his wife are my "quilt holders" and they are both 6' tall and barely tall enough to hold it up. LOL!!
In usual fashion, Sweet Pea claimed it as hers as soon as she saw it.
It is a fun giant "eye spy" kind of quilt for the little ones.
\Even little man, got in on the fun.
So, did it make me crazy to stitch?
Nope, it was crazy fun to scrap bust my way thru that tote of batiks, as well as my wall of fabric.
I am not even going to lie to you. This was taken when my room was cleaned up, and it does NOT look that way 99.9% of the time.
Crazy as it sounds, this big quilt, didn't even seem to make much of a dent in that wall of fabric either.
As for Red Boot Quilt Company... they have the cutest and "Happy Quilts" that I have ever seen. Toni usually hosts a year long "free" BOM, but she has been suffering from long haul Covid for a quite some time, so she did not have one this year. She has started reworking this giant and making it into 2 quilts.
"Love and Hope" and "Dreams and Wishes"
They will be available on her website as soon as she gets them finished up. NOTE:she posted on Facebook that she will have one of them up on her free page this week sometime.
You can visit her Here and see all the adorable "Happy Quilts" she has to offer and some fun freebies as well.
Keep an eye on her website or Facebook group, to see if she hosts one next year. My fingers are crossed, she has been working on some adorable things, one is Sloths, happy dance! You might want to sign up for her emails, so you don't miss anything!
Thank you for visiting my craziness today...now hop on over and visit my fellow bloggers and see what's been driving them crazy!
