Hi,
I've been trying to figure out how to put together all my unmatching scraps also, and in looking at some other scrap quilts, I notice a "grounding" color. Like the postage stamp quilt shown, I think I will use a white to ground my scraps.

If that makes sense.

Almost afraid to show mine. This is probably the worlds ugliest scrap quilt ever created. I was living in a 5-wheel 75 miles from town in the middle of winter. I had no idea where this would go, but I persisted. I wish I would have used some sashing to break up the blocks. A friend of mine commented that some of the pieces glowed in the dark. I forgot that I had used some scraps from pajamas that I made for my grandsons. In it's defense, it has kept me warm for 11 years. :lol:
Can you say UGLY?

No I love it. My idea of true scrappy. Just looking at it makes me sleepy and want to snuggle up in it.
I tied this together after the center panel was finnished by adding a fish border, fabric I had still laying around but it looks planned. With this one I put in a big variety of oranges, browns, blues, golds, greens
