Here it is with all the blocks done, now she is starting on the border star blocks as well.http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8226/8...bf86a588_z.jpg The sun was shining in the window sorry about the bad pics. I am calling this one scrappy.One I am working on I got this top at a resale shop for 20.00 needed finished. I thought it would be great practice and have something when i was done. Mom said the strips were ripped not cut, I don't know anything of that method. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/supercabs78/8385876639/" title="Untitled by supercabs78, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8189/8385876639_4acf5c00fd_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Untitled"></a> |

Here is one of my favorite scrappy quilts, Crab Apples by Bonnie Hunter. I've never posted a picture before, so I'm hoping it works.

Future Quilter--a fantastic star your mother is making--so vibrant!
sewplease--you got rid of alot of small squares. The red sashing sets the blocks off so well. Nicely done. |
@sewpleas: EEEEK! You posted this beauty just in time for me. I was looking for a scrappy to start. LOVE it! :thumbup:

I pieced this last fall and it still hasn't gotten quilted. I would come home from work (teacher) and think I would do just one tree and then grade papers...but it never turned out that way. My poor students had to wait quite some time to get their work back, haha. The little squares finish at an inch and it actually went together very easily. This was the first Bonnie Hunter quilt I did from one of her books. When you cut up your scraps, it's amazing how fast those little pieces can accumulate. I find this kind of piecing very therapeutic. :-) Laura
