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!!!!.......

scrappy trips blocks 46 through 48

 This is one of my favorite blocks of my scrappy trips blocks so far....
 I am mixing up the different fabric lines of Sandy Gervais jelly rolls....
I have ordered a new Sandy Gervais jelly roll and can't wait to get it....
I thought I needed another fabric line to add to this quilt............

The flickr group Scrappy Trip Along now has grown to 1,033 members...
such fun to see all the colorful quilts.....
I am linking with Connie at Freemotion by the River for Linky Party Tuesday!

 Continuing on with showing my blocks for my scrappy trip around the world quilt....

scrappy trips blocks 23 through 30

 I am having fun with my blocks for my scrappy trip around the world quilt....
the first three photos are Pumpkins Gone Wild...........

 the next four photos are zippity doo dah............



  I opened up another jelly roll for more blocks....
Since I am using all jelly rolls by Sandy Gervais....
I have started using L'amour by Sandy Gervais...........
I am using the jelly rolls I have purchased over the past years with no purpose of how I was going to use them...purchased only because I liked them!!
 Here is the first block with that fabric....
I have been putting all my dark blocks in the #6 position in the strip sets...
So some of the blocks will be flipped the other way...this one will be one that is flipped...
I almost have half of the blocks done for the quilt!!...
I am totally loving all of it.......choosing the fabrics to be together for strip sets and sewing them together and cutting them apart and then sewing them together into blocks!!
I know there are some of you who haven't done these blocks yet and want to do them....
SOOOOOOOO come on and join in!
Today...I am adding this to Pat Sloan's blog Show and Tell link.....
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

scrappy trips 11 though 14

 Here are some more blocks.......this is zippity doo dah.....
 Here is the strip set before I cut and sewed the block above.....
 another block with zippity doo dah........
 Jelly roll of Red, White and Bold by Sandy Gervais..............
 This is ONE of my favorite lines that Sandy Gervais has done so far....
Several years ago I made a quilt using the strip tube ruler using the RWB line...
 
I decided I will keep using my jelly rolls for this quilt....
I think this would be fun for a beginner quilter to do this quilt....
It is so fun and easy and perfect for January when I just want to sew!!!

scrappy trips blocks 6 through 10

 Photos are in the order I did the blocks....this one is still Pumpkins Gone Wild....
 Another jelly roll...this one is Sandy Gervais Zippity Doo Dah......



I decided to go with Sandy Gervais fabrics....
Several years ago every time I saw a Sandy Gervais jelly roll I would buy it!!
AND I had no idea what I would use them for....until NOW!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
