I collected about 12-18 small prints in the coffee colors from espresso to cream, including a few yellowy-tans. FQ, 1/4 and 1/2 yd each. They are mainly random textures but there are some 'sentimental' ones - small allover labs/GR's, small saxes and pianos, small paws, coffee bean prints, and I am going to photo our yellow lab and print it on the photo cloth, small 3" squares. I guess this is not a 'real' scrappy (should we call it a frappe-y? ;-)
I don't want the fabric prints to be too obvious, but something that you see if you look close. For DS Christmas surprise. :) I don't know if I should do a watercolorish or bargelloish thing, or a more traditional. If I did a traditional style with white background space I would have enough for a bed quilt. This could be the quilt in my quilting journey where the challenge is small pieces and/or triangles. (gulp) Scrappy quilters, any ideas??? Thanks for taking a minute! Sue |
Try Ohio Star with the colors contrasting. It is a pattern that makes for a lovely quilt.

I received a scrappy jelly roll exchange that had multiple color prints and values. I sorted them into groups of 4 with reasonably matching colors - lights and darks and made a tube quilt. It looked great when finished.

What is a tube quilt? Are there instruction/tutorial?

How about looking at the free scrappy patterns on Quiltville.com and Maryquilts.com? I love both sites- great inspirations.

So much quilting to learn and do and so little time. Quilting brings back to me Those feelings from my youth when I wanted to do everything right away! |
Try the Jacob's Ladder block. Just two sub-blocks to make and assembles as a 9-patch. It looks great scrappy and you can use white or any color for your background.

Linda - GMTA! We did one with a black background and it's one of my favorites so far. I want to do one with white now.
