Look for this magazine where you normally pick up your magazines, or you can follow this LINK if you want to order online. This is a news stand issue, so it won't come with your subscription.
This is a quilt I kept coming back to because as it grew I loved it more and more and every time I worked on it I wanted it to be bigger. Finally McCall's asked if I would please finish it so they could publish it, so it got finished at 76.5" x 84.5". With a design like this you can make it as big or as little as you choose. If you are a scrapper like I am, you love working with as many fabrics as you can. There is just something about all your fabrics playing together that gives such a great look. To further enhance the beauty of the scraps I used one tan fabric with scrappy corners for the square in a square block that is consistent throughout the quilt. I also used the same light fabric for the corners of the colored square in a square block. For me, this brings a calming influence.

What a delicious scrap quilt, Marcie! Congrats on having it published. I will keep an eye out for this magazine next week!
I am working in civil war fabrics and this would be great to use up my scraps! Yours looks so beautiful!
Another great quilt, Marcie - just love it! I can see why you wanted to keep making it bigger!
Beautiful scrappy quilt.
Oh Marcie .... another beautiful quilt and another magazine .... you totally rock!
That is beautiful, and I understand why you kept working and working on it. It's full of all my favorite fabrics.
Hello Marcie-
OK I have been drooling over your fabulous "Splendor in the Scraps"! I keep looking at the tan fabric and know I have used it in the past but wondering what the line was called. I woke up this morning thinking it was Lately Arrived from London only to find out I was wrong. PLEASE put me out of my wondering! and tell me. &:-D I love picking out all the different reproductions in the quilt. Thank you!
