Beware, once you go scrappy you don't go back. I find just a few fabrics boring now - ok, I always did, it's just worse now that I'm scrappy.

I find the "Nickel Quilt " books very inspirational for scrappies. There are three books in the series. As mentioned by the others Quiltville, is also a great place for possibilites.

quiltville.com is a great place to start

Hi Callen,
This is a perfect and easy scrappy quilt pattern. I have been taming my scraps with this pattern over the winter break from school. The pattern is the pdf file. Love the look of that top. That is what I am looking for. Look forward to seeing your tutorial. Tks for the pic. callen |

Hi C.....what I do is look at patterns I like and try and see if it can be done using scraps...i always use one fabric to bring everything together....the possibilities are endless.....I don`t really have one particular book I use....there are lots of ideas here as well....my favorite way is sewing scraps on adding machine paper strips and cutting those up to make my quilts.....good luck....
Haven't talked in a while. Tks for the help but why do you use adding machine strips? Is it because you use small pieces & that makes them easier to handle? |
Check out MaryQuilts.com. A lot of the patterns are great for scrappy quilts, and they are free. Most patterns don't take up more than two or three pages. Have fun!

One of my favorite scrappy quilt sites is this: http://www.maryquilts.com
And I found it through this board. :D :D :D As my post came up I saw quilttiger's post for the same site. |

Wow A., love that quilt. Basically from what I can see, you can take several pieces of left over material & sew in whatever design you want as long as it is balanced. Does that sound right? Tks for the help. Lots of ideas going thru my head. Lots of possibilities.
