Long post alert. I hope y’all aren’t tired of my Everything Goes Scrappy Trips because I’m not ready to stop showing it off. *wink* I really enjoyed making this quilt…so much so that I made three! And they are all in this post.

I made my first few blocks on January 11, 2020.

I was telling someone that some of the blocks on their own were just blah, but when you put them together with a few more, it’s magical!

I finished it on May 23, 2020. Here it is in all of it’s scrappy glory! It finished at 96” x 108”.

I used a king size sheet + part of a twin size for the backing and binding. You can’t really see the quilting for the busyness of the quilt but it’s mostly a medium stipple. I say mostly because I started out trying do some things I wasn’t quite ready for.

The first few rows I attempted an orange peel…

Then I transitioned to an “X” in each square, and then some “lazy 8s” but I hated them all. Not so much that I picked them out but just enough to try something simpler.

I finally found a nice groove w/a medium stipple and that’s how I finished it. This is before washing it.

And this is after washing it. It’s hanging in the sun in this pic.

I originally ordered a king size package of Hobbs batting but it was so thin, I tore a couple of holes in just opening it up. I ended up using Warm and White since I had a huge 40 yd x 90″ roll. Originally I had chosen not to use it because I would’ve had to piece it together in order for it to be long enough and I just didn’t want to mess with that. What I ended up doing as I was coming the end of my main batting piece was butting up a couple of 18″ pieces and spray basting them on the backing while it was on the frame. And I was very pleased w/the outcome. I didn’t take any pics of that process.

Here are a few more pics of the quilt on my bed though.

And here it is hanging outside.

I DIY’d an outdoor quilt hanger to photograph my quilts. I will be sharing the quick process in a post soon. I honestly didn’t think this behemoth would fit but it did! You can see in this next pic that it touches the deck.

And here are a few pics of a smaller one I made.

And last but not least, a solids scrappy trips. My boy Wonton approves. I will finish it this weekend and I’ve chosen the perfect backing from my stash!

Thanks for stopping by and ogling my quilt. Until next time, Happy Stitchin’ & God Bless!
