I was in my lqs on my birthday recently and was told I could get 20% off but as I have a lot I was good and only bought 3 ftq. Now I sure wish I bought some blender fabric.o well next year!lol
Someone posted a scrap string x from quiltville they had made. I started these blocks and love them. So I`m hoping to use up a lot of scraps. Those of you who make alot of these quilts do you include xmas fabric. I don`t think I have enough for a xmas quilt but guess Eventualy I would. Thanks Gale Camera needs battery but will post later. |
I haven't made a quilt like that "YET" but I would think that you could include every fabric scrap type. I love the mixture of every kind of fabric. I remember my little brother had a scrap quilt when he was a baby and I loved looking at that quilt and picking out my favorite fabrics. My idea of fun as a kid......

Scrappy quilts are my favorite kind of quilt, also. I even like looking at the cartoon pictures, of quilts, in children's stories . If there is a bed in the story there always seems to be a nice little colorful quilt on it :D

Could you post the website for this pattern?
|
I mix up all my scraps ..EVERYTHING! unless I have a specific plan in mind for certain scraps.

I don`t think thats the pattern I`m using.
Here is mine www.quiltville.com called string x Just looked at jojo link that is not it. Gale |
I love using my scraps, from making jounal covers, to the Scrap Surprise I host every year.
I am always adding to my 1 1/2 inch strips for scrappy log cabins. Come in handy when something pops up and I need a gift. |
i don't see why you can't use any fabric you have/like, including holiday fabrics. the more the merrier. especially in a scrappy from one another that you hardly see one individual piece anyway. just have fun with it and try not to see "christmas".
|
I use whatever shows up. I probably have enough Christmas fabrics to make a scrappy of just holiday fabric, but I like seeing all different fabrics in a scrappy!
|
Thanks all guess I`ll have to dig out some xmas and use up.

I love the idea of using all kinds of fabrics in scrappy quilts, it makes them more interesting :D :D :D
|
I not only use Christmas prints, but Halloween and baby prints. Anything goes so long as the weight is right.
|
I love the look of scrappy quilts but haven't made one yet. Someday. :D :D :D
|
I participated in the I Spy 5" squares swap and it seems a perfect style for a quasi-scrap quilt. In an I Spy quilt you use all sorts of pictures that you'd never plan to put together.

Cute quilt pattern.
