this pattern, "woven ribbons," by darlene zimmerman appeared in a 1998 issue of american patchwork and quilting. i tore it out and filed it away because its scrappiness called to me. some time later, i had some WOW scraps with a holly pattern and lots of christmas scraps from tree skirts and other projects. i decided to make a scrappy christmas quilt. today i once again pulled out the shoebox and found that i still like this a lot. so, in the bottom photo you'll see the quilt in progress. in addition to the WOW scraps, i'm using up plain old white scraps as well. this quilt will also be quilted, but there isn't that much white space and plenty of color in this scrappy. this is the only strip done so far, with about 20 more to go, but it's a good way to spend the hours and keep the old viking humming!
