This challenge was made for me!! I'm trying to use up my scraps. It's Much slower cutting and piecing individual patches than strip piecing but for now I'm enjoying it. I will try to post a picture later but usually have no luck with that. I love my smartphone because. I can post my pics to facebook so easily.
I have lots of fabric and my goal is to make all my quilts this year from stash.

Hang in there Cindy. It will be worth it. Are you working on anything in particular or just cutting your scraps up right now?

Anna I'm working on a split 16 patch. Totally random, just half light and half dark. I'm using 2.5 in patches and have a few more quilts in mind using those same patches, so am cutting up lots.
My goal for the year is to make 1 block a day using scraps. Of course I prefer to sew units, then put the blocks together so I don't actually finish one block a day, but I do get 7 or more a week... So far that is, the year is young and you know what they say about New Year's resolutions....
But I think I can keep it up. Each year I set a goal for my quilting and I almost always make it. I love to quilt!! That makes it easier.
What kind of quilts do you make Anna, Any hints on cutting and using scraps?

I busted a bunch of wool-blends that I've had for quite a while. The picture is under "Pictures." Yay!

Lots of pretties on here! I'm really enjoying shopping my stash first. Discovered that I had bunches of focus fabrics (no surprise there) but my blenders and sashing type fabrics keep going away too quickly. So now I'm trying to focus more on those when I go shopping.

I am making comfort quilts for church members out of 4.5 inch scrappy blocks. My mom passed away on Monday and this brings me to a quiet place. I have 2 done and will do another one tomorrow.
