Thank you Tartan for mentioning a new scrappy pattern. I looked it up and I think I can do that..I have been looking for one that would be two colours...maybe that will use some !

beautiful scrappy. Why is it when we do a scrappy, we always make more scraps? You did a wonderful job on your scrappy.

I am in agreement, here. Later this year (probably in the summer time), I have a whole laundry hamper full of scraps destined for scrappy blocks--crazy blocks, really. I want to do a major blitz of them and wonder how many I can actually get out of that laundry hamper full of scraps. I wonder if I could sew like mad for a month and still not run out!

Ladies,
Very pretty! I need to take the jump into scrappy. I keep looking and I just don't feel I have enough to make a scrappy quilt.

When you make one like this are you paper piecing it or just sewing the strips next to each other?

That really is a nice quilt. Wasn't there some sort of theory of spontaneous generation regarding scraps??

So I should take my girlie fabric scraps and put them in a different bin than my boyish fabric scraps, and I will stop the multiplying? I threw my biology books out years ago, but I think that's how it works.....

I am in the middle of the equivalent of a king size quilt with scraps and I swear to God I have more than when I started. What the heck??

They multiply when you are not looking. You must keep the container out of the closet. LOL Lovely quilt by the way.
