One of the projects I want to finish this year is my Scrappy Sprouts quilt which I started piecing several years ago.
The pieced blocks have been sewn into strips. Now I need to get the flowers pieced for the top of the strips. I've changed my mind several times about which flower I'm going to use. I had settled on hexie flowers but I'm not sure about that anymore.
I want to get Blueberry Pie pieced then I have some UFQ's to finish before making the flowers. There is plenty of time to decide that but I do want this quilt finished before the end of the year.
Here is a link for a general pattern of Scrappy Sprouts. Here is a link to a picture of Scrappy Sprouts with interesting flowers. I've also seen scrappy sprouts made with Dresden flowers. And sometimes scrappy sprouts is made with no flowers.
Several years ago there were many scrappy sprout quilts in progress on the RSC link ups. Here is Kathy's start. Here is Sue's quilt. Vireya was piecing one too. Animated Librarian made her sprouts with tulip flowers, very pretty! I know there are a lot more scrappy sprouts out there but these are what I could find right now.

ReplyDeleteYour scrappy sprouts are so colorful and cheerful, Gretchen.Looking forward seeing the bloom in the future. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat sprouts, love all the variations of colour in each sprout. It will be interesting to see which flower style you choose.
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love this Gretchen! It would be a hard choice for me; I would like a variety of flowers, but that might be too much for the quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe Sprouts quilt is going to be a really fun one. It's cute even without the flowers, but I'm sure it's going to get even better!!
