Low Volume Quilt

 I started pulling and cutting low volume fabric last night to get started on a scrappy low volume quilt. I'm still on the 30 Item Scrap Challenge, figure I will be at this for most of the month of March.

 I felt a little lost when working on the first block but after getting it together I realized I was over thinking everything. It is NOT a hard block!

 

Cutting all this fabric is the biggest challenge for me! Holy cow its a whole lot of cutting.

 Here is the first pile of scraps/stash for 10 blocks that has been cut. Ready to move on to the piecing then start building more blocks.

I know this quilt will be a long and hopefully happy endeavour so I went ahead and designated a container for everything.

One block done, only 19 more to go! Once I get all the cutting finished I think things will move along a bit faster. I have sew many other irons in the fire right now that I need to use the scrappy Low Volume quilt as my just for fun project.

I didn't realize how few low volume scraps I had in my scraps/stash until I started pulling fabric yesterday. Lots and lots of brights to pick from but the low volume not sew much. I refuse to buy anything other than backing for this quilt sew I will have to use a whole lot of repeat low volume fabrics.

I don't think this quilt will put much of a dent in my scrap/stash but what the heck every little bit helps right? The little Bernina London 7 is doing her thing thank goodness as the big girl will be spending an additional week in the shop :(.

What do you ladies do to keep a handle on your scraps/stash? I have nightmares of my scrap/sewing room being so stuffed with leftovers that there will be no room for some new yummy fabrics in years to come.
