Crazy Scrap Panel Projects Comments only

while cleaning off my cutting table, I saw that I had accumulated tons of triangle and inside curve scrap pieces, so my mind went right to a vision of a scrap panel that I could build from the scrap pieces as is.  Here is the concept of the idea that flashed in my mind

Kind of like a "Crazy Quilt" design.

Pretty...I'm all about using scrap glass anyway I can!  :)  I hate to throw anything away.

We used to call those quilts, "rag bag quilt"  LOL  Maybe that is what I'll call the panel when I do one

Great idea Joan! I've got to figure out what to do with mine before they overwhelm me!

[JoanFrances]

Thanks Meaco, Kev and Tre.  The great thing about them is that they would be different each time and nothing would be wrong. LOL

i like it Joan... I have way too much scrap too...may have to put something together.

Interesting idea Joan!  I'm sure that ALL of us have pretty good sized scrap bins. Now on this one I might think if adding glass globs, or other interesting additions...humm, this is giving me a few ideas as well.

Decorative soldering and scalloped foil in some areas would add pizazz to it as well...just like a crazy quilt with different stitches used.

great idea!!

That is what I did with my purse accent light, used the wave foil.  This panel is only a concept, as the intention is to use the scraps as is without any cutting.   Just to hunt through the bins for the colors and shapes you want and let them design the panel for ya.  Kinda like a puzzle, finding the right piece for the space.  Fun, easy and pretty

Cool idea!
Yep, I agree with Denise on adding some colorful glass nuggets to your crazy quilt if you have any large gaps, maybe add little decorative wire curly-Qs on there as well.

No matter what you do with it, it'll be a blast to put together! It'll be a neat, fun, original piece!

[PiscesGlass]

Gotcha JF!  Just wanted to give some ideas for some alternate things people can do if they choose to leave spaces between the pieces of glass.  I've also see wire work, or twisted pieces of lead came in the empty spaces...looked pretty cool, and unique.  Some of the additions made the piece look pretty interesting.

Love the idea of using the scraps AS IS. I didn't get that part when we were talking yesterday. Another thing on my TO DO list!

Now this sounds like another challenge......hmmmm might be a fun winter project!!!!!!

[Lou Ann]

funny you post this now...

Toni and I designed a crazy quilt pattern this weekend to make into stepping stones for around the pool...

I have about 50 lbs of scrap so I should be able to make the 5 or 6 stones I need and still have plenty left over...

Di, that is a wonderful idea.  Maybe, Malinda or was it Anne who started the "I have an idea thread", would let us use this for the next piece for everyone to do their way.  Would love to see what everyone could come up with.  The only rule would be, use the scraps as is, not extra cutting.  Grinding would be optional, but I don't intend on grinding the pieces.  Any method, would work too, that is, foil, lead, or stepping stones,  What do you all think?

They already have the next piece started Joan..Sparkling Star I believe.
