Looking for scrappy ideas
I've got a bunch of small cuts of fabric anywhere from 2.5" to 1/2 yard and all sizes in between. I'm looking for a good pattern that lends itself to scraps. I was thinking possibly a log cabin. That is honestly my only idea haha. Any thoughts or scrappy quilts to share with me? Thanks Joe

Bonnie Hunter is totally scrappy. Here are a lot of her free patterns http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html

I got past the What?? page when I realized for me, scrappy was color, not pattern. Any pattern you like Just imagine each color as the whole spectrum from your stash.
It would be interesting to take a quilt you've already made, and like, and remake it in scraps? I'm working at precutting down my stash as I won't be able to do that with precision before long...kind of like canning my stash :) Here is an example of my storage, and any Bonnie Hunter quilt is an example of the result. |
I like Chinese Coins. A strip of a thin old sheet as a base will keep it stabilized.

There are so many patterns that lend themselves well to scrappy quilts. Here are a few of mine.
Boxed Squares Tradewinds (or something similar) or you could make up your own as I did with "Pipe Dream" |
