Scrappy Sewing

My red Birds in the Air blocks for RSC13 are being assembled... here are 8 of them ready for the big white triangles to be added.
I pulled out another scrappy UFO for a leader/ender project this week and started filling up my design wall with blocks.  This pattern is called "Bright Hopes" from the book "Quilts from the Heart" by Karin Renaud.
Yesterday it became a flimsy and is now on a hanger in the ready for quilting section of my UFO Collection.
The blocks are similar to the Crossroads blocks I've been making with a smaller center - another good pattern to use up small 2.5" strips.
Putting the UFO leader/ender blocks on one end of the design wall is really motivating. Now I'm ready to find another UFO I can do this with... I need something pretty on that wall!

I'm linking up to ScrapHappy Saturday@soscrappy and Scrap Basket Sunday@Kim's Big Quilting Adventure.

    Deb, you are motivating me to get some of my UFO 's done. - then I see a great scrap quilt like that! I am almost brave enough to try partial seams. Any tips?

    I like this bright scrappy look of that quilt. The pattern looks a bit complicated to me.

    The blue border looks great on your finished quilt. What a fun collection of red scraps for your birds in the air blocks. It will be a great quilt when it is done.

    What a great scrappy quilt top you have created. I love it. So cheerful. Your BITA triangles look so nice in red. They will be stunning with their white triangles added.

    I love how the red and white display in New York sparked so much interest in 2 color quilts. Yours will be beautiful.
