Scrappy Trip Along Continued
Although I’m not as fast as many of the quilters out there, I’m still working on my Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt {you can read the beginning here}. After seeing this quilt, I knew I needed to add some pretty purples to my quilt, even though I only have a few, and I’m so glad I did:
I also ordered some of The Simple Life by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake for the back, and gingham for the binding. I have been wanting to get my hands on some of The Simple Life, but wasn’t sure what I’d use it for, it is kind of nice to buy fabric with a purpose!
Now I just have to make a few more blocks. I’m thinking a 3 x 4 layout will be perfect {and then I’m half way done, and 4 x 5 will make it a little too big for a toddler bed….}, with maybe a border or two {I am really loving the border idea my mom is using – so maybe I’ll attempt a scrappy border!}.
I now know why everyone jumped on this bandwagon. Such a fun, quick, quilt block, and it makes fabrics that I might not put together, but I love, look great together.
So, have you made a scrappy trip around the world quilt? Are you planning one?
Your quilits are always pretty!

So adorable Jennie!! Can’t wait to see more!!
I also love the backing fabric! It is good to buy fabric with a purpose . Can’t wait to see the rest.

My blocks are coming together slowly also, but mine will be king size so it will take a lot longer! I love your fabric choices!
this is too much sweet and girlie prettiness in one quilt! so cute! (and doesn’t it feel good to just indulge in the super girlie sometimes?) 🙂
The fabric you’ve purchased is perfect for backing and binding. Your quilt is gorgeous!
You have some awesome scraps…
Such a dainty quilt! Good choice on the backing material, I can see a girl spending a lot of time gazing it’s vignettes!
If I had a dedicated sewing space, I would enjoy working on a block of scrappy fun now and then, but not just yet. I am, however, vicariously enjoying your progress. And your Mom’s, too! Love the borders!
It is so pretty Jennie, I love your colours. I found scrappy trips SO addictive took less than a week to finish including quilting, that’s how much I loved it!
I love the border on your mom’s quilt. I’ve done one scrappy tripalong but I cheated and cut stash so it matched lol. I started a second one last week that is truely scrappy, but I have 60 blocks and have no idea what I will do with a quilt that huge lol! They are sure fun!!
Your scrappy is looking lovely! The purple is great and I adore that simple life you’ve chosen for the backing 🙂
I love the colors in your Around the world project. You inspired me to make one. I never thought that and Around the world quilt would look good scrappy but it really is pretty!
I pulled out all of my fat quarters that I have been collecting. I sorted them by color and then picked them at random to make a scrappy block and it came out pretty nice. I have been cutting and cutting and sewing and sewing. I will post a photo on my blog once I get a few more made.
Well done. It is going to be beautiful.
I want to make one, but am having trouble deciding on what fabric to use. I get so hung up on things like that. I need to just grab some fat quarters and play.
Yours is darling!!
