Welcome to the final week of the scrap vortex QAL! I'm thankful that so many of you have joined in and quilted along with me. It's been delightful to look through the #scrapvortexqal hashtag on Instagram. So many scraps are being put to good use! Hurray! Before we get on with today's post, I wanted to share a few quilt tops made by others! This one was made by Amanda of Material Girl Quilts. It measures about 46" x 63". This one was made by Linda of Flourishing Palms. It measures a whopping 89" x 91"! And this one was made by debpotteringabout. She used all of her scraps...ALL of them!!! How is that for a success story? Didn't they all do a great job on their quilts??? Many thanks to Amanda, Linda and Deb for letting me share their work here! Over the past few weeks, I've shown how to fit the pieces together based on the random sizes of your block. I would recommend using that method, if you are up for it. However, I would imagine that some of you may want to rely on a block format for construction. I've done a few quilt block mock ups to show a few options if the random layout isn't working for you. For this first mock up, you could use all 12" blocks. This isn't a bad option at all, just a bit more structured than the typical randomness of a scrap vortex quilt. When you start the assembly, at least you are guaranteed that your blocks will fit together! This second layout uses just 3 different block sizes: 12" squares, 12" x 18" rectangles and 6" x 12" rectangles. In this layout, you will lose the grid of the patchwork (which is a good thing) and it becomes more random, but it's still orderly and predictable. This isn't a bad option, either! These are just a few examples to illustrate my point. Of course, they can be sized up or down as desired. Completely random is good, too! As far as quilting goes, I would recommend doing spiral quilt (tutorial here) to keep with the vortex theme. A pieced back.... and scrappy binding are options that I would recommend as well! It just makes sense, right? :) Well, that's all I have for today! As always, if you any questions, I'll try to answer them in the comments! Thank you ALL for quilting along with me!!!
