Many Scrappy Trips



Last summer I found a quilt design that really interested me from Bonnie at www.quiltville.com. It is called Many Scrappy Trips. I spent a healthy amount of time making the blocks. It was so much fun seeing how the fabric combinations were turning out that I just couldn't stop pulling out more fabrics and finding out who went with who and how they reacted to each other!! Then as is my way....I started second guessing myself. ¿Do I make the blocks totally random or do I add a little bit of organization? In order to see which I would prefer I made tons and tons of blocks. I probably have enough to make three big lap quilts. When a friend was visiting me last Friday I pulled out the blocks and she gave me the inspiration to start working on them again. Not making new blocks, but to start batting and quilting the blocks already made in the "Quilt As You Go" method of quilt assembly. I think I might be able to finish one or two in the next week or two or three. Hopefully I'll get at least one finished more March is out.... The random block arrangement I will call "Chaos". And the Little Bit of Organization arrangement I will call "Organized Chaos".

En el verano de 2009 encontré un diseño de quilt que me agarró muy fuerte. Es del website www.quiltville.com y la mujer del sitio se llama Bonnie. El nombre del diseño es “Many Scrappy Trips” o en español, “Muchos Viejes de Retazos”. Gasté mucho tiempo construyendo los bloques. Fue tan divertido a ver los diferentes combinaciones y como se relacionó juntos que seguí jalando más y más telas de la colección mío. Antes que yo sepa tuve un montón de bloques. Y entonces pensé ¿¿¿que pasaría si yo pongo un poquito de orden el la mescla??? Ahora tengo suficiente bloques por 3 quilts. Durante de una visita de una amiga la mostré los bloques….ella me dio la inspiración de trabajar con estos bloques de nuevo. Pusé en sándwich unos de los bloques y empecé de quiltear los con el método “Quilt As You Go”. Ojalá puedo terminar algo en el mes de Marzo. Un grupo de bloques llamo “Caos” porque la manner de arreglar es muy randóm. Y con un poquito de organización pusé el nombre de “Caos Ordenado”.
