Pixel Love Scrap Quilt is part of Scrap quilts, Pixel quilting, Cowboy quilt, Quilts, Heart quilt, Quilt blocks - I talked a little in my last post about my scrap goals for the year one scrap quilt each month until my scrap bin is (more or less) bare  In February, I started this quilt with ambitions to finish before Valentine's Day and I finally finished the sewing down the binding last week  Scrap quilt number one took a long time, but it's done! I did have to cut a little bit from my stash because I have almost no purple scraps, but all of the neutrals and almost all of the pinks came right from the good old scrap bin  There is a tutorial available for this quilt and I followed the tutorial except I left the borders off of my quilt; I only had one good backing option in my stash and I wouldn't have had quite enough if I had added the borders  For the quilting, I did a simple crosshatch  When the squares on the quilt are this small, I usually just eyeball where the lines should be and don't bother marking them  They end up a little wibbly wobbly, but nothing too noticeable  The binding is an Anna Maria Horner voile  I think this is the first time I have done a voile binding and it was a dream to work with  The backing fabric is from Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy reprint  Even though I didn't finish the quilt in time for Valentine's Day, it is ready to go for next year! Do you want to join along in making some scrap quilts this year  I am working on a post with ideas for different scrap projects and hopefully that will be ready later this week  Pattern Pixel Love Tutorial Fabrics Various scraps from my overflowing scrap bin Backing Pink Seeds from Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt Binding Innocent Crush voile by Anna Maria Horner Batting Simply Natural Happy Cloud Batting
