Yes, definitely a no show on the mapping side of things from me!
I have been following progress of all taking part but
due to unforeseen hiccups my plans came to naught!
I had begun deconstructing a scrap vortex quilt-in-making (you can see details
on my blog), and decided I could go with another take
on Chinese Coins. I made a very bright one in the challenge,
posted on this blog 28 June 2018.
So, I have strips of the scrap fabric below 12" x 3 and 1/2" cut
along with
 |
| KF stripes and his aboriginal dots |
together they make
and when a few of these are stitched together
we have this
there will be three of these, hopefully very soon when
I am not so reliant on my crutches!

Everything's better with Kaffe!
This is a lot more interesting than a Scrap Vortex. Looking forward to the next stage!
No fail that I see..xo
Reworking the scraps resulted in a fabulous idea. The dark Kaffe makes the scraps so rich. Clever you, Maureen. Well worth the trouble you've taken. I'm so glad you did this and shared it with us.
Beautiful Job! I love it.
Hiccups! Yes, they can be distracting!
I really like your 'this' ,very exciting. Thanks for sharing your process, I like reading about
where you started and then how you got to 'this.'
I design like that too.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I confess I wasn't sure how folks would relate to this piece initially. I have to say I quite enjoyed taking the rotary cutter to the made fabric, I had to try a few different colours of the KF Aboriginal dots before going with the dark teal and I don't quite know where my inspiration came from to use the ready made stripe, no matter, it worked! Two more segments to sew, finished size would be 46" long and 36" wide. I don't intend to border at this stage.
Wow, I really, really like this. It's so much easier on the eye than Scrap Vortex; those KF fabrics add balance and structure (his stripes are among my favourite fabrics ever).
I love scrap quilts . . . they are my favorite, so full of color and cheerfulness. This is my first visit to your lovely blog and now I am your newest follower. I am a sister quilter and blogger and would love to have you follow me back. I think that we can inspire one another and it's always fun to see what others are creating . . . I think it helps us grow in our stitching abilities.
I loved my visit.
Happy quilting.
Connie :)
Thank you Kaja and Connie. I do agree Kaja, much easier on the eye and I'm really enjoying watching this small quilt take shape. Connie I do hope you were able to take a little time and scroll down to see the super posts from the other AHIQ blog members.
There is no way that this should be called a "fail" - it is gorgeous.
Thank you Julie!!
Gorgeous Chinese Coins quilt, Maureen and no worries, sometimes the mapping muse is far away from me too!
