July Scrap Quilt

I am posting my July Scrap quilt a few days early because I will be out of town for a few days. G.M. and I are going to the Vermont Quilt Festival! We will be making a few stops tomorrow before getting to our hotel. Wednesday and Thursday we have classes and then it will be a slow ride home Friday with a few more stops as we travel through Vermont, my favorite state in New England.

So about the scrap quilt for July. I made this quilt using scrap strings and foundation fabric that partially shows on the front of the block.  It was a fun quilt to make but the challenge came when I joined the blocks into rows. I have a lot of bulk in the centers of the Spider Web block.  I spun the seams to eliminate some of the bulk but it is going to be tricky to machine quilt around those "lumps". 

Here is a single block

 My scrap quilt for August is made using string from my Batik bucket. I am sewing small strip sets, then using a template to cut my shapes. I don't want to give too much of it away but it is going to be a quilt you will want to make using scraps or using your stash. It's that fabulous!  I will be working on it at July sewcation and hope to have it done by the time sewcation ends. That will leave 4 quilts left to make to meet my challenge of 1 quilt a month. I am starting to run out of ideas so if you have a favorite scrap quilt let me know what it is. 

I better get packing for Vermont!
