.... engrossed in scraps, I even forgot to take an afternoon nap yesterday!
You may wonder what has happened? Due to Covid-19 and flight interruptions, purchasing fabric from the US (as I usually do) is very limited, and expensive! (Fedex Express Shipping) Therefore, I haven't bought much fabric this year, which is a very good thing! After making some Christmas items, I'm running low on Christmas fabric. Not that I'm running out of Christmas fabric, but you know, those leftovers from other projects that can't be used for anything else than scrap quilts or applique.
We all love looking for ideas, don't we? My favorite is Pinterest and there are tons of ideas for scrappy quilts. I did not really have in mind to make a scrappy Christmas quilt, but when I saw this pattern, I knew I just have to! I bought the pattern!!! 😊
I spent almost all day yesterday going through and cut some fabric scraps.

Astrid, this is so pretty and so much fun! If you're running short of the gray background fabrics, you could also make the backgrounds scrappy. There's enough of a contrast between the red/green and gray that it would work! Can't wait to see it finished! And if you get tired of making the blocks, it would also be a lovely TR! LOL
Sorry you are having troubles with shipping and purchasing for your fabrics. We are all waiting, in some form or another, for COVID to pass. This quilt will be pretty!
What a fun pattern Astrid, tempted to give that one a go myself with my scraps, of which I still have so many it's almost a crime! Can't wait to see this one come together, I love the mixed colour stars.
That is a great pattern for scraps! I can't wait to see how it comes out.
I love it, Astrid. Yes, two colours star is better than all the same colour star. Will you keep only red and green in the alternative block or any colour goes? I think some gold/yellow would be nice too. Just saying. Enjoy the scrappiness. ;^)
This is going to be an exciting quilt! Have fun making it and using up more of your scraps!
This is a lovely block. Great in Christmas fabrics but I can also see it in many other combinations.
It looks great with the two colors in the star!
Really Lovely.
