Here she is, all finished! My Scrap Storage quilt made throughout the year in conjunction with So Scrappy's RSC2024.
Pretty darn cute, if you ask me! Full of three styles of storage bins in an Ikea Kallax inspired storage unit, this quilt should inspire your own scrap (or yardage) storage.
Throughout the weeks and months of last year, I shared my storage blocks for all of the colors of the months, plus myriad prints that were also in both my scrap stash and regular stash. Since I wanted this quilt longer than 66", that top row was a stretch to find themes toward the end of the year. Like I said before, all the little-used fabrics go up top, out of reach cause they're used so infrequently!
What I love about this quilt is not only the variety of fabrics, but the variety of storage boxes and the different combinations of boxes within a storage cubby. The only boxes that can't go together are the under-bed storage box and the tall storage box. Otherwise, it's pretty much a make it up as you go.
Here's a closer picture of the top three storage rows, full of more prints than solids.
And the bottom three rows, consisting of boxes full of more solid looking colors (otherwise known as blenders).
I also opted for a dark brown for the storage unit shelves and sides. My original idea was white, but I think it would have been confusing with the white lids. If I ever make this again, maybe I'll try dark lids to get a white cabinet.
Will I do another RSC project this year? I haven't decided yet. At one point, I thought I'd make an entire quilt from the month's color choice, though I don't think I could keep up that pace nowadays. Anyway, I have some time to decide as I see So Scrappy hasn't posted a color yet for this month/year.
Enjoy your quilting endeavors - Happy New Year!
