Another Scrap Wave Top is Finished!

A special thanks to invisible quilt holders Joannie and Marion.

I finished this quilt top a while ago, but recently decided that it wasn't really complete without borders. So this month I added the turquoise batik inner border and made the outer border using the leftover squares from the quilt panels. I have enough turquoise batik left for the binding. This quilt was made from four identical jelly rolls, which is an expensive way to make this quilt. Typically I make this quilt with fat quarters. I think that I last showed you this quilt in May 2014 when I made the first panel. I think I'm going to call this one Tropical Punch!

Does it look familiar? It's the same pattern as my Blue and Purple Scrap Wave.

If you have really sharp eyes, you'll notice a difference. When you cut your strips for this quilt, you're supposed to cut them along the short side of the fat quarter so they are 18 inches long and you get eight 2 1/2 inch strips, which you use to make eight panels that are six squares wide. When I made the blue and purple version, I forgot, and I cut them on the long side of the fat quarter, so I modified the pattern and made my panels wider, but I have fewer panels in my Blue and Purple Scrap Wave top.

This is a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter called Scrappy Bargello. Have you made one? It's easy and fun and you use 40 fat quarters (I make my panels longer and use 44 fat quarters). Here is the first Scrap Wave quilt that I made many years ago. I also made one for my friend Linda B. when she got married in 2005. I will have to ask her to send me a photo of it.
