Scrappy Trips quilt top

This past week I finally got all of the scrappy trips blocks together!!!
I used fabric lines by Sandy Gervais for all of the blocks.....
 This is the top left.....
 Here is the top right.....
 Here is the bottom left.....
 Here is the bottom right....
Here is a photo of the quilt more from the top of the quilt but the top rows are not in the photo...
It was hard getting the photo of the whole thing....
My hubby got the photo at the top of this post and it was actually the last photo we got...
He got it by standing on a ladder to get all of the quilt in the photo....

Pat Sloan got me going this month to sew every day.....
I will be posting another time about my other projects I am working on....

64 blocks for scrappy trips quilt

 I have posted a photo of each block I have made for my scrappy trips quilt.....
 I started these blocks in January and have certainly enjoyed putting all of them together....
 I used Sandy Gervais fabrics for all of the blocks.....
Here is the last block.....sad in a way as it has been so fun...........
Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville has the directions for the scrappy trip around the world...
Here are some of the blocks on my LR floor.....
Taking photos is a good way to see what blocks look best together....
I just layed blocks down to see what happens...
I have a lot of major changing blocks around to find the best placement....
Such great fun!!!!.......

 I am still continuing with all Sandy Gervais fabrics in these blocks...
It is a lot of fun to see other scrappy trips quilts all over the internet and flickr!!

adding another jelly roll for more scrappy trips blocks

 In this post are blocks 49 through 52........
 I opened another jelly roll....Flirt by Sandy Gervais..........
 These are a lot lighter in color....but I love the variety of all the blocks so far!
 I decided to start adding in the other jelly roll fabric lines with the Flirt...
Finally I discovered if I sew the strips of blocks in a reverse order...then I have the dark going the opposite way.....and I will need it going that way in half of the blocks....
I can also turn the blocks to the side to get the dark to go from top left to lower right...
I am still having fun with these and enjoying this process with no rush......

Join in the fun....and check out the photos on flickr...awesome quilts in this group....

I am joining Connie at Freemotion by the River for Linky Party Tuesday!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
