Here is my photo of 'Sydney's Quilt' -- a scrap quilt I made for my niece's first birthday.
There are 2,240 x 1 inch squares in the quilt. I ended up rooting through my scraps and ended up fussy cutting over 500 of the squares into a mini I spy.
She loves to pick the ones that have the I spy!

The Low Volume Plus Quilt I submitted for the Scrap Quilt Challenge is my first attempt to cross the bridge from Traditional to more Contemporary quilt making. I am not yet ready to venture into Modern quilts with a lot of negative space and graphic designs in them, although they are very striking.
So I began surfing blogs and was loving the low volume backgrounds that I saw in some quilts. I started collecting photos of my favorites and began searching for low volume fabrics on Etsy. First time I saw a Plus quilt I just knew I had to make one. I am not one for using bright colors in my quilts very often, but after making baby and toddler quilts for grandchildren I decided to search through my stash. I surprised myself to find enough bright scraps to make the Low Volume Plus Quilt and a scrappy binding for the quilt I like to name Color Me Happy.

This one was a struggle. Am not precision oriented so I tried the required blocks and they came out okay but the whole thing won't align so I just punted and finished it off.
The upside: I got to use the charm squares ("small talk") I won in an earlier challenge and some fabric (black with dots) that a friend brought me from India.

Horicon Marsh Flyway
Claudia M.
Living in Dodge County, home of the Horicon Marsh helped to inspire me for this week's challenge thus the name Horicon Marsh Flyway. I used the suggested Monkey wrench block in the center of my quilt to represent the marsh.
Additional blocks also known as a monkey wrench (or snail's trail) were used for the land and sky that the the flying geese use on their way north and south each year, passing through the marsh. The flying geese are paper pieced and loosely attached on top of the blocks creating a 3D effect of the geese in flight. Piece measures just under 13" square.
