I've been working on a bed-sized quilt using 10 inch charms from a Flickr group swap. I've also added some fabrics from past projects--bits and pieces that I probably would not have used otherwise but work well in this scrappy project. The pattern is Bricks and Strips which you can download at Pink Chalk Fabrics. For my quilt, I am alternating rows of solids and prints and incorporating Kona Cornflower which coordinates with the color of the walls in our bedroom, a soothing pale blue. I've learned that low volume projects benefit from using a variety of large and small scale patterns and lots of colors. They really lend themselves well to a super scrappy approach and I love that I can include some fun fabrics (like the cars in the center of the picture above) that I would not ordinarily use.
Have you been bitten by the low volume bug? I would love to hear about what you are working on!
Wishing you creative inspiration.
