Scrappy Stash Quilt-Along Check In

How are those scrappy blocks coming along? The Flickr group is going strong, and I've seen lots of progress over there!
Some of the lovely blocks from the Flickr group:

If you are making 2 blocks a day, you should be up to 26 by now. Remember that you need to make at least 30 to qualify for the QAL prizes.

Aim to have your blocks finished by Friday (26th) of this week. That will give you a few days to play with layouts. Next Sunday we'll go over layout options. You can certainly choose your own but I'll post some suggestions.

Here's the upcoming schedule:
layout options October 28
basting info November 1
quilting ideas and binding info Nov. 5

link up finished quilts Nov. 13-15
Winners announced Nov. 16

You can do it!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM EST for BIG NEWS! Super exciting big news! I can't wait!

xo,
Jennifer

Wow, that Halloween version is great! I started out strong, but then I fell behind. Going to catch back up today! I only have 10 blocks left. Can't wait for your big news!

I behind. I didn't get to sew at all this last week. And my blocks are more on the "vomit" side because I didn't have as many scraps as I thought!!!
It's name is going to be "Vomit Logs" and it will be loved dearly by us. :)

I finished my blocks yesterday and had a play around with layouts, but wowed me so I'm looking forward to seeing some more ideas.

What a great idea this was. Thanks so much!

I have been amazed at how far my scraps have gone! I didn't think I would have enough but I have been able to do exactly what I planned with what still looks like a huge pile! My husband even looked at my scap box and said "I thought you were using scraps for that quilt?" I have loved every minute of this QAL!

I have 40 pieced and quilted, plus for extras waiting to be quilted. I'm having a great time with this challenge, though it may have gotten away from me. It'll be interesting to see if I can get it all finished in time. My update is here...
