Scrapbag Sailboats

My latest project started out from a pile of scraps that I bought.  Not my scraps to begin with...but I felt the need to sew up someone else's scraps...I have a problem!  My challenge was to take this bag of scraps and add only one other fabric to make a small lap/baby quilt.  I love how it is turning out.  It isn't finished yet, I think the plan I have for the freemotion quilting will make this just perfect, for me anyway.   A modern quilting criteria of an alternate setting was also one of my challenges.  That did not come easy.  I started out with something entirely different but I didnt have enough fabric, so I just started to sew vertical strips together for each row,(in afterthought, maybe I should have made horizontal rows to mimic the ocean) ending or starting each row with a large sailboat motif. I couldn't cut up the large scraps of sailboats.  In the  alternate rows, Kona Snow,  I improv pieced sailboats.  I will do some freemotion quiltilng in the open spaces to compliment and finish with a scrappy binding.  I still have some scraps left over but I will just add those to my "Blue Bin" for future use.  

What fun!
