Today I got so frustrated looking at the K Quilt with no ideas and waiting for a bit of gold to finish the star quilt that I realized I needed a bit of scrap therapy. I took the scrappy blocks that I won a few weeks ago and just sewed them together any which way, trimming and adding from my own scraps until I felt satisfied. Then I took some of my strips to make a border. I had the orange in the middle but then thought it might look better on the outside. I might put something darker in the middle border, like black with white rather than white with black. Whew! I feel so much better.

What a great jazzy quilt!
You are right. Scrap therapy makes everything OK.
scrap therapy is so much cheaper than talk therapy :-)
Thank goodness for other, or UFO projects, to switch to when we need a break from what we've been working on! 8-)
Scrappy quilts are a quilter's therapy. Which reminds me. Where did I put that box of scraps!
what a lovely groovy quilt jimmi Hendrix comes to mind when I look at all those great scrap bits and my what great therapy that must be.
Thanks for the link,,, to the one block wonders,,How many metres of fabric did you purchase for the project? im thinking of hand painting some repeats on fabric
Many thanks for your help

Very productive! Is that the orange that you just purchased?!
Playing is indeed the best part! Finishing is a little harder (for some of us, anyhow -- you seem to do really well!).
Love the results of your therapy session!
Cheers!
