The second quilt/wall hanging was made completely of garbage scraps.  My sister Les makes large bed quilts.  She throws away pieces that are small in her world but just right in mine.  The swirly fabric is a favorite.  

I arranged the blue pieces in a connecting way that pleased me and initially attached them with double sided fabric adhesive.  Then I sewed, permanently attaching each piece, then echoing the shapes in the patterned fabric in white and blues. I brought the back of the quilt forward and used it as binding.

This is an unusual piece for me because it is all in blues, a monochromatic design rather than the explosions of color I love.  Also, it is dark and I tend to create in lighter colors.  But that made it a fun project and I like the feel of it.  Thoughts?
