Got Scraps?
I call this scrappy impromput technique
"Kwilty Chaos"
It's time for you to let go of that
"block design control" thingy
For this tutorial I have sorted by color.

for a Rainbow Scrappy Quilt.
For a more scrappy feel...don't sort by color
just start sewing!
Let's get started!

Let's get started!
Find a long strip (it doesn't have to be
perfectly straight - this piece is a wedge shape...
Place it right side up
Place smaller scraps right side down,
on top of the long strip, one after another
Try NOT to control selections...
just pull fabrics, place and sew!
Now cut them apart
Press them open
Trim up your edges as needed
Find another long strip, right side up
Sew on new scraps, cut, press, trim
Sew on new scraps, cut, press, trim
Once you have lots of Kwilty chaos pieces!
Sew the smaller units into blocks
Just keep sewing the pieces together to build larger blocks.
Build a bunch blocks to a size you want.
You can then sash them, turn them on point, make strips
Whatever you want.

Sew the blocks into a long strip
Here I have made several rows of "purple" Kwilty Chaos
"Kwilty Chaos" is just a state of mind.
I don't mind playing with scraps...how bout you!
