These are not small quilts. If this is only half of your scrap bag, I'd love to see your fabric stash. What a beautiful job you did on all three of these quilts,. The contrast colors really help all of the different colors work well together. WAY TO GO!

Oh! I love all three of your scrap quilts. Scrappies are my favorite and I, like you, have bags and bags of scraps that I'm using up in some "utility" quilts. What is a "Utility" quilt? These are the quilts that we use everyday. We bundle up in them in front of the TV, or take them in the car when we travel or use them to cuddle in around the campfire. They are much loved and I'm sure yours will be too. Thanks for sharing.
