I just did 5 log cabins all made out of scraps - 4 blocks x 4 and backed them with flannel. They will be used at a retirement home.

I really like Patches and Pinwheels by Bonnie Hunter. It uses a tone of little pieces. I hate to waste fabric because it's so expensive. With this pattern you use pieces down to 2 inch squares.

Thank you Paper Princess for the maryquilts site.

I made the Hunter's Star pattern and it was great using my scraps. There are no limits!

Anything out of half square triangles. I also love Drunkards Path, particularly if I have some fabrics with quilters gold or very sumptuous pattern.

Shorebird: Where do I locate Smith Mountain Morning pattern by Bonnie Hunter? It is gorgeous and our son lives in VA near the Blue Mountains. They would love it.

It's in one of her books. It is the next book I want to get.
