We're all set for spring! or atleast that's what these fabric scraps made me think :)
A while ago, I received a bunch of fabric from our neighbour. In there, among lots of beautiful ones, were so many neatly cut scrap fabric that were maybe meant for a project she was working on.
Recently when I re-organised the"sewing spot" in the room I share with my daughter, I again noticed these scraps. They have been lying around for such a long time and I never came up with any pattern that was appealing to the eye. I had given up and thought of using ALL of those as bias tapes.
One day, while watching videos on Youtube, I came across this amazingly easy and quick scrap quilt top which only took 40 minutes to sew. It was sooper easy to make and much faster than I imagined.
I laid out the scraps according to how I liked and pieced them up all at once (as per the tutorial video) About 43 pieces sewn together so my quilt top is bigger than the one on the video. This is the longest I've ever sewn !
It took me around 3 hours from the beginning to the end to complete the quilt.
It seems a bit bulky to be used as a throw and maybe better if used as a blanket on the bed. But for now I think I'll just leave it on the couch for my daughter to use on movie nights :)

There was a plain green IKEA throw that was lying on our couch for a while. I didn't want to make this without batting & backing as it wouldn't be warm enough, so I used the throw as a backing for this pieced up quilt top.
Like mentioned on the tutorial, the entire top was very simple and quick to sew. I just love how it turned out :)
