Every Last Piece - feature quilt - Troubles with Scraps

,

The design for Troubles with Scraps came from playing with the parts for the traditional Kansas Troubles block.The basic pieced unit for Kansas Troubles reads as a half square triangle. I tried many different settings and layouts for the hst unit and finally settled on this bullseye look.This was one of the first quilts I quilted on my longarm and I really had fun with the feathers and bubbles.Finished size: 42'' by 55''The pattern and directions for Troubles with Scraps can be found in chapter two of my book.You can purchase an autographed copy of the Every Last Piece from me here.

This summer we watched my two oldest grand kids one day a week. Towards the end of the summer they started making projects on their own in the sewing room. They made lots of little projects from my scrap basket including pillow cases and tiny quilts
Here’s the layout with all but one block done. I’ll finish that last block when I get more of the baby poop green/mustard fabric. I put out the call and the internet provided! This top will be finished soon! This is a remake of an 1870s
