Scrappy Trips Around the World

I told myself that I was going to pass on making the Scrappy Trip quilt. In fact, I think I told myself 'NO' about 1,000 times and to just pass it up the quilt can be made anytime. But, after seeing all of the lovely quilts on Flickr,I couldn't pass making one myself. The quilt along was started Here, and I think I've visited about 1,000 times trying to talk myself into it, and then back out. But the process just seems too darn easy to pass up.

 So I'm in! However, I haven't made a ton of quilts that have left scraps but I have collected a bunch of FQ's and yardage. Most of the yardage has come from my LQS annual garage sale (which is my favorite time to shop!)

After I got home from school today, I cut up some fabric into 2.6x16 inch strips. I gave myself an hour, to cut up as much as I could. I want to make this quilt last for the year, slowly chipping away at the quilt, adding more fabric as the year goes. I plan on making a few more quilts this year and hopefully that fabric can be added in too.

I'll keep you updated on my progress throughout the year! Hope you join along too!

Here's my progress thus far, I love polka-dots can you tell?
