I went along with several others on this sight and decided I needed to use up my scraps. I am starting my 5th scrap quilt and on some of my scrap boxes the lids actually fit. But not on all of them... :(

These three quilts are from Quiltville.com I love her patterns. They really go together nicely.

This one I just put together

Oh My Gosh! Those are just beautiful. I have to get over the "scared of scrappy" syndrome. I am just so scared that it will look tacky. Yours are absolutely beautiful!

I love quiltville.com. I can spend hours just looking at the different patterns. I just started cutting up my scraps into the different recommended sizes and am getting ready to start piecing my first scrap quilt. How exciting.

Beautiful job on your quilts. Can't wait to see more.

WOW!!! The are all beautiful!!!!
I'm currently cutting a lot of my scraps for a log cabin quilt. Only a few left to cut (for this round) and then I can start sewing.

Wow, great use of your scraps. I don't have the time or the patience to use my scraps so they go to a charity for stuffing of animals for little kids. :oops: I'm embarrassed when I see how well others use their scraps, and I just don't have it in me! Your quilts are just gorgeous!!

I just make the quilts and if they look funky to me I give them away. Last month I did a raffle at work for a quilt I made that was soooo ugly. The woman who "won" loves it. I hope she dose not wash it, I ripped it out so many times it will fall apart!
