Pink Scrappy Serendipity Top, and Pattern

Before I went on vacation in June, I finished another Scrappy Serendipity top. I swear, these blocks are addictive. The fun comes from selecting the fabric combos one block at a time, not knowing exactly what the final quilt will look like. It's amazing what I found in my scraps and my stash that I had forgotten I had! 

My first version was totally scrappy. My second version was curated scrappy, blues and greens. Both versions worked well. Now my third version is curated scrappy also, in pinks and purples, but this version features one consistent background fabric. 

I wanted to use one consistent background fabric in this version instead of a scrappy background. Both options work, but I do like the constant background here with all the variety in the pink and purple prints. The fabric is a confetti print on white that I had in my stash. Because there is a lot of cutting involved, by using a constant background fabric I was able to die cut 2-1/2" strips which made the cutting go much more quickly.

The block is 10 inches finished. The earlier quilts were 6 by 8 block layouts for 60" by 80" quilts. The pink version is a 5 by 6 block layout, 50" by 60".


Making this version also served as a test for the Scrappy Serendipity pattern. The pattern is ready to go now. 

I will be sharing the pattern with members of PCQ. While not specifically developed as one of our community service charity patterns, it would certainly work. I am offering the PDF for any charitable purpose. It looks great in patriotic prints!

    I really like the background fabric and how it's consistency really lets the eye enjoy all the variety of prints in the blocks!

    I love this version of Scrappy Serendipity, especially because of the consistent background. I would love the pattern to make a Quilt of Valor. Honestly, I know that I will make more than one using this pattern. Your generosity and willingness to share the pattern is much appreciated. Thank you! Joanne - jo9of12@gmail.com
