Not sure if this is OK or not but I found this link for a bunch of scrappy patterns & thought this might be an OK place to post it (hey... maybe it'll produce more scrappy quilt pictures!). Enjoy!

That's one of the many things I love about scrappies... they can be any "color" you want them to be just by how much of one color you use or what border you go with. I can't wait to see yours when it's all done!

So many have mentioned that after making scrap quilts, they still have LOTS of scraps. This is embarrassing, but here are some of my scraps. You can't see all of them because the closet goes back a couple of feet on each side. The scraps are (mostly) by color, although I do have a garbage bag or two of mixed colors. Anyone have more than this? (PS Why are so many of the pages duplicated?)

I am sure it will be gorgeous Michelle..I am too impatient to hand quilt, but I love to see everyone else who is brave to do it. I did start a quilt...maybe 4 years ago,...still waiting to be finished. Here's a picture of what I did do!
I just remembered... I pulled out all the toe catching stitches in the centre, as I thought it looked awful compared to my border quilting...but I bet I am as bad as I was at the beginning now as I haven't done a stitch since LOL!

I never use to do scrappy at all. always had to be a pattern and certain fabric and would give all the scrap away but after one scrappy I am hooked and have done several. these stars are the latest

I visit here and decided to add a couple scrappy quilts I've made-scrappies are probably my all time favorite! I sewed the log cabin with my treadle(fun!) and the dresden was scraps my Mom gave me all cut and ready to sew into plates.[ATTACH=CONFIG]318660[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]318661[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]318662[/ATTACH]
The last one is a quick quilt I put together and gave to my daughter while she was waiting for her last baby to be born!
