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.

Thanks a lot!!
Hello there, wonderful pattern for charity. I’m starting to work on quilts for seniors and foster care. I’ll love to try this one out. Having the extra ‘white’ I think will help tone down some of the louder fabrics I have also. I’d also be willing to pay for it. Thanks for the effort you took to make it. ho11ybr@yahoo.com

Scrappy quilts are filled with visual interest. I like a one fabric background. I really makes the blocks "pop". Thank you for kindly sharing your Scrappy Serendipity pattern. Email dweeks4602@gmail.com.
