Another Scrap Quilt

Yes I definitely have a problem...started ANOTHER quilt. You know, I just get bored so easily and have all these ideas floating around in my head...and I think, I'll just try a few blocks to see how something will look. And before ya know it I'm halfway into a new quilt. ....ahhh well....

So I was cutting up scraps....loads of them....organizing....boxing up...

These just CALLED out to me! HSTs in low volume and colorful scraps....just couldn't resist.

So my new quilt is almost all cut...most of the HSTs are stitched and I have 11 of the 14 rows put together. And my sewing room is TRASHED....

Guess I better stop and clean till after Christmas....soon...just a few more pieces...well, maybe after this next row.....

Yup, I have a problem.

Modern Solid Sampler quilt ready to baste

I've been working on my civil war quilt a lot lately and needed some COLOR! This scrappy solid quilt is ready for quilting so I'm taking a break from dark colors to do this. 
Originally I planned to add a border but I've changed my mind...it's big enough for a lap quilt and that's all it was meant to be. This was just a way to use up blocks that I auditioned... If I wanted to try a block or quilt pattern, many times I make one block. If I like the process or technique I start the quilt. I've been making my tester blocks in solids knowing that someday I would have enough for a modern solid sampler. There's some that were so bad they didn't even make the cut for this quilt...and one in here that was soooo time consuming I only made 1/2 a block (the red & white block to the left of center).
So onto the quilting....
