ScrapHappy July 2023 – “Oh Scrap – It’s Not Just Black and White” is Done

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

It’s the 15th of the month and time for my monthly “ScrapHappy” post as part of the ScrapHappy group I belong. At the end of this post I have a link to the other blogs participating in this monthly event in case you’d like to check out their ScrapHappy posts.

I finished the freeform scrappy log cabin quilt I first wrote about in this post – What’s on the Design Wall: Scrappy Log Cabin.  I pieced the blocks as a sample for the Scrap Happy Quilt Retreat I had in May. I got it back the other week from the longarm quilter, put on a binding, and earlier this week I finished sewing down the binding.

It is now hung in the wall of the upstairs guest bedroom where I have a B&W theme going on with some framed Ansel Adams posters, Black & White wall art, and B&W photos I’ve taken (on the walls not shown in the images below).

This quilt is very “scrap happy” as the quilt top was pieced entirely from my collection of black, white and gray scraps!

  1. I admire your discipline in actually sticking to black, white, and gray. 🙂
    It is so intricate and it is fun to let your eye wander around and spot the little differences in each block.

  2. Ansel Adams was one of my husband’s favorite photographers and one of the ones he collected and emulated in some of his own photography. I love his work, too, especially out west. Your quilt is wonderful, and looks so good with the Adams’ prints. Great job!

  5. Oh, I love this, and how well it works with the rest of your theme. Sometimes the discipline of a fairly strict colour scheme produces the best results. I’m about to paint our bedroom a very different colour, and *of course* a new quilt for the bed is going to be required….
