Black and White and Colors all over

Just to let you know I have not given up sewing. This is what I spent my black and white scrap stash on this week. I got the grand idea  to do this in our two day scrap-a-thon from seeing it on judy simmons blog . Please note my current favorite black and white print of a martini glass. I also sacrificed some of my fave cow fabric.
An older friend of mine once told me, "learn from your elders, if you cut up and use fabric in a quilt you'll keep, you still have the fabric!" Wise woman.

The sewing bee members all  chose to do a different pattern but shared scraps. By sharing, of course I mean I took more home by the good grace of my  suppliers friends.

so this is the whole thing laying on the flannel only a bit different than Judy's. I think it may be a bit bigger, likely because I'm a bit bigger, ahem. It looked a hot mess up on the design wall at our bee, but seems less chaotic somehow now.
 It might finish at about 50 X 70 and I need to do some think tank work on how to break sewing it into segments that I can easily machine quilt, then put it together after. It's how I do bigger work. I try to break it into segments that are workable but not numerous.
As it's February, I plan to start tomorrow showing you some of my Valentine quilts.
I'm back to the machine now for some instant gratification! Color! Just what we need on a gray and sleet/rain filled day.
