    Default Way too many scraps

    So after quilting for over a year and saving all the scraps, They started to take over my quilting area. So far I have made 3 of these quilts for a local hospice. Probably have enough for 3 more quilts. Only able to upload 2 of them.

    I love scrap quilts. Have made several myself. How nice of you to donate to Hospice. Very pretty quilts.

    Very cute! I'm a fan of scrap quilts (or quilts that look scrappy) as well. And that's so wonderful that they are for a great cause. You have a great heart.

    Wonderful use of scraps! Your quilts are beautiful AND as a former Hospice employee and now Hospice volunteer, I know they will be appreciated. Thank you for your generosity!

    Once you go scrappy - you never go back!! Love your quilts - check Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville blog (link to it at Quiltville.com) She has (free tab on top) a scrap-user system which will organize your scraps into usable pieces - just do it after you make all your cuts for any quilt, and you won't have an uncontrollable bucket!! Helped me tremendously.

    Wonderful job. And you are a special person to do those for charity. I'm sure they'll be greatly appreciated.
