Kaleidoscope Scrap Quilt Top

From the lack of posts lately it may seem like I haven't been doing any sewing, but in reality I have just been sorting, cutting, and piecing scraps into a kaleidoscope quilt.

As much as I love making scrap quilts, they do involve a lot of sorting which takes a lot of time and leaves lots of little tiny pieces of fabric all over my sewing room (let's be honest, I am finding them all over the house). But I did enjoy making this project for my sister.
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that I planned to make scrap quilts for my Mom and sisters in 2014. This one didn't quite make the cut, but it was pretty close. Scrap quilt for my Mom Scrap quilt for Kara Scrap quilt for Kelly

This quilt is for my sister Carly who hates pink, so I tried to stick to reds, blues, greens, grays, yellows, and oranges. I did stick a little purple in there, I couldn't help myself. It is a little loud and crazy, but I think that's just what a scrap quilt should be.
Normally I like to push right ahead and get my quilts basted, but this one wore me out. I have the backing ready and hopefully will get started on the quilting soon.
