I tear pages out of magazines for ideas and the Width of Fabric quilt idea was from a picture in a magazine. How simple, I can do that! This quilt was quilted in the ditch horizontally first, then vertically with 1" straight stitching.
Scrappy Trips measures 50" X 60" and the Width of Fabric quilt measures 42" X 68". These two quilts are for the two youngest granddaughters.
I didn't take a picture, but several weeks ago I won a package of 1" Hexagons from A Quilting Reader's Garden. They came in the mail this week and were a very welcome package on a cloudy, dreary day. Thanks!
Linking up with Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching, Quilting is More Fun than Housework, Love Laugh Quilt, Quilt Story, Esther's Wednesday Wow, Freshly Pieced, My Quilt Infatuation, A Quilting Reader's Garden and Crazy Mom Quilts.

Your applique is lovely! This is the second Scrappy Majestic Mountains I've come across today--I need to get into my stash and start one of my own--looks like lots of fun!
Great self challenge! And your applique is just gorgeous. What wonderful work you do! :)
I can't wait to start Sweet Surrender. Your tiny circles are awesome. I'm looking forward to trying those skinny stems!
Oh you love coming up with quilts from your stash. I have spent the last four years doing that! Love you applique blocks and yes it is so relaxing.
Your applique is beautiful. And the Scrappy Mountains in homespuns is perfect for boys of any age.
Your Sweet Surrender blocks are beautiful and so carefully sewn. Splendid!
I love the block with the appliqued grapes. But all your applique is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
I use Karen Buckley's Perfect Circles for my circles. Bye the time I get the plastic template out of the center, they aren't quite perfect circles anymore, but they sure are better than what I made before I had the circle templates! Looking forward to seeing your Sweet Surrender blocks. Enjoy the pattern!
Love your Sweet Surrender blocks! The grand kids will love those quilts!
Your Sweet Surrender blocks look fabulous! The grandkid's quilts are fun and bright. Bet they will be well loved.
I'll bet many of us have a box of 5" squares from the heyday of nickel square designs! You'll have fun rediscovering your stash to create your grandchildren's quilts.
I just love your appliqué Gretchen - you make the vines look almost edible! Your grandchildren are very lucky, what lovely gifts they're going to be :)
Sweet surrender keeps popping up in my reading -- I might have to indulge in that one, too!
No pressure, but I can normally applique a block in 2 evenings. The grapes did take longer, there are a lot of circles! But not that much longer. I wasn't real excited about this pattern before I started, I just wanted to join in the group from my guild working on this quilt. Now I am really glad I did. I'm loving these blocks in the 30's fabrics and I think I am going to be very pleased with the quilt when finished. I'm even thinking of possibly hand quilting this quilt someday.
It looks like you draw the triangle and then applique each section on a larger piece of fabric, am I correct? Of course it is Monday AM and I may still be asleep. LOL Beautiful work!
I am using the same background fabric for all of my blocks. I can get 4 full triangles and 2 half triangles from 1 width of fabric. You will need to orient half the triangles opposite because the half triangles are different. That might not make sense until you look at the pattern.
I keep thinking of making the mountain quilt but have not got around to it - love all your photos
I love your sweet surrender, I haven't seen that pattern before. Are you doing it all in 30's repos?
Your grandchildren are going to have something special. You have a some wonderful projects going, all beautiful.
I haven't done much with 30's reproduction fabrics so I decided to do Sweet Surrender in them. I am very pleased with how colorful they are turning out to be.
Applique is my favourite form of quilting - and your applique blocks have left me drooling!!! They are just fantastic. I love, love, love them....and hope you'll show us lots more of this quilt!
Lovely applique blocks! I'm swooning!
