Once again, I saw something inspiring on Pinterest. It was credited to "StitchMischief, Dec. 2020," but I can't find the link now. It's a scrappy quilt similar to but not the same as Scrappy Serendipity. This design features dark Plus motifs on a colorful low volume background. Here's the inspiration photo:

In my ongoing efforts to use up scraps and stash, I pulled out everything that could work for the black or charcoal plus shapes. Then I pulled out all the harder-to-use low volumes, the ones with light grounds but a lot of color or pattern or contrast in them. After raiding my scraps, I also cut bits from yardage. Didn't make a dent!
Now I'm in the process of making blocks. I think I'll need 54 of them.
Just a few more needed, then I can lay them out on the design wall. Like Scrappy Serendipity, this design uses a half-drop layout, so I'll have to make end blocks for some of the columns.
One of my goals last month was to think about a new long term project. This is the project that called to me, not long term at all, but I am having fun with it.

Oh, I like the contrast you are achieving with your blocks!
