I wanted to try a slightly edgier color scheme for my most recent tickertape doll quilt (for more info on this type of quilt see
my previous post). I saw
this on flickr using green, gray, and pink. I added some aqua and - perfect! I used a light gray for the backround on the front and charcoal for the back.

I love how the lime binding looks against the dark gray.

All these tickertape quilts have lead to a slight problem, however. I can't get rid of the tiniest scraps, because I know, of course, they could be made into a tickertape! They are beginning to take over. Want to try making a tickertape yourself, but don't have a variety of scraps to use or perhaps you don't want to cut tons of tiny rectangles and squares out of larger scraps? You are welcome to the mine - just the be the first to ask in the comments and I'll send them to you.
*Update: the scraps have been claimed :).
