While I was working on this quilt...

(Alexander Henry's 'The Ghastlies')

My daughter ran off with my scrap pile and laid out this...
(I was seriously excited to see her do this!)

I extended each row with white strips from my scrap bin...
(But it just looks too 'neat and tidy' now)

So I'm working on translating her design...
I just have to say how IMPRESSED I am with my 3yr old's design, it's modern and straightforward and I just LOVE it! While I was going around in circles trying to figure out how to use the scale of the Ghastlies fabric she laid out her design in a matter of minutes. Maybe Mom is over-thinking things in her own projects? lol The above pic is only half her design, but I was too excited not to share this with you all! It requires the use of the iron after every stitch so it's not something I can work on while my toddler is around and who currently refuses to nap. This will be the first time I've completely something with my scrap before the actual quilt the scraps came from, lol! =)
