It's EASY being green!

I've committed to cleaning out my scraps. I'm gonna get there. I have an embarassing amount of fabric.... and I realized that I was treating scraps kind of like my china -- I was waiting for the perfect way to use them, and so I found myself never using them!

But times, they are a changin' in the Wendy City.... I'm using my scraps up.
I'll work on using the china issue later...
So here's a quilt I finished over the weekend. Love it! It also used most of my green scrap box.
It's a birthday present for a friend. She's Irish, and her favorite holiday is St. Patrick's Day.
A close up...
I bound it in a green check....
And I'm kind of in love with the back. Dig those shamrocks. And almost all that green check got used! Hooray!

  1. I love this post! I, too, save fabric for just the right thing. You're exactly right... it never gets used. Cute quilt! Great use of scraps!
