Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I made this fun, scrappy bricks quilt. I love how each of these is the same and so very different. These are 9.5" by 9.5" blocks made using 2" by 3.5" bricks. That's the smallest scrap I want to deal with. 
Simple blocks for the win. I Took inspiration from the border fabrics to choose the squares. Such a fun finish. 

Both quilts will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Nine Patches from Becca's Crazy Projects

Scrappy Bricks from Becca's Crazy Projects

I've been working on some more scrappy bricks quilts.

Die Cutting the Leftovers from Becca's Crazy Projects

When I trim a charity quilt, I set aside the trimmings in this bin. It is overflowing with scrappy goodness. 
I decided to do some sorting by size. 
My goal was to cut some of those leftovers into usable pieces. I sorted the scraps into some general sizes. These sizes become binding, borders, and blocks. 
Then I sat down with my biggest leftovers, in this case the pieces that could easily be cut into 6.5" squares. These are the easiest to make into a charity quilt quickly. Thirty squares sewn in five rows of six squares and you almost ...

I've been piecing more of these scrappy bricks blocks. 
They come together easily and make a pretty fun little quilt. 
The block center squares and the borders give each quilt its own flavor.
