It’s International Quilt Market time, and that means it’s also Blogger’s Quilt Festival time. If this is your first time visiting my blog, thanks so much for stopping by! I know I’ve shared this quilt recently; however, “Gumdrops” is a favorite for a lot of reasons, so I chose to share a little more about the “story” of this quilt. “Gumdrops” started out as a scrap project. Every so often I made a few blocks and then would put it away, sometimes for months. I wanted a good range of colors in this quilt and waited patiently for scraps. After more than a year I decided it was time to get this quilt put together, and I started the process of deciding how to put the 9-patch blocks together. After discarding quite a few sketches I decided I would first put my 9-patches together in groups of four and then figure out a setting.

So cute and I like the way you did the sashing.
Mary T. Pratt Salmon says
Well, I think that is great! The setting is wonderful. I save all my scraps too and never do anything with them. What a shame. I need some kind of system that forces me to create a block with the scraps along with the current project. Any ideas out there?

Love this quilt. How small are the patches in the 9 patch blocks? I have a ton of scraps and many are pretty small. Wondering about making one.
