Scrap Happens - The Quilt



Scrap Happens is finished!





I made this last year during the 
Gwen-Inspired Medallion Quilt Along 
organized by 
Cathy at Big Lake Quilter
Katy at KatyQuilts
Cynthia at wabi-sabi quilts
and
Lori at Humble Quilts

Here are links to my previous prompt-reveal posts
for those who might not have seen them:




and

(The theme for Round Five was 'Something Fishy'
and rather than add on to Scrap Happens,
I chose to make a mini quilt.)





 44" wide x 55" long

* * *

Next week Scrap Happens will travel cross country
to visit Lori of Humble Quilts
and be part of the First Friday exhibit
at QuiltWorks in Bend, Oregon
during the month of May.

If you are lucky enough to go see the exhibit,
please take photos and share them with me . . .

where the official color for March is red
and a new color for April isn't far away.

Went back and read about each round on this quilt and found it fascinating. It's a gorgeous colored quilt with wonderful quilting. There are some quilts one wants to hug.

It seems that your fifth round - something fishy - is expressed in the waves you quilted. I can imagine little fishies swimming under those waves. Great quilt!!
