    My DH refers to scrappies as "real" quilts. Meaning traditional frugal fabric usage. He always loves my scrappies but says they are too good for charity giving, because of the time and love involved... a concept I don't really buy into. He says scrappies are what I should give to someone who s seriously ill, such as the acquaintance with stage 4 brain cancer who was given a month to live MAX but was still alive, alert and wrapped in that quilt a year later ..... in remission!!!! She credited the "magic" of the quilt. Her DH said she always wrapped up in it for lounging at home or going out in his truck.

    Rhonda asked me to post this and a tute on how to make it. This pattern is awesome for jelly rolls and 2.5" strips. It goes together fairly easily although the piecing is a bit finicky. Here is the link to the tute (PDF): http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...d-t235957.html

    and the picture.

    Thanks JNCT14! It is a gorgeous quilt!

    Here is a quilt idea that came in my email today. It is from Victoriana Quilt Designs.

    Rainbow Crossroads quilt

    when I choose colors to use I like to go from the lighter to the darker and gradually go up the value chain. For the border she used going to the rt she went yellow orange red purple blue green. I would always put blue as the dominant color and she used green. To me green is less than most blues. Interesting also to see how she crossed a color like an x or L as in the blues. I would usually try not to repeat more than one color per line. Just me. From a distance it looked like a Kansas Dugout blocks to me but it is all HSTs and squares. Very interesting and a fun way to use up scraps!

    I just found this thread and have enjoyed reading a lot of the posts. I love to scrap quilt and those types of quilts always seem to be more interesting than the matchy-matchy quilts that I did while learning to quilt. Don't get me wrong, I still do matchy quilts from time to time, but it the scrap quilts that I seem to enjoy the most. It's like while you are piecing you think to yourself "Oh, I don't know about these fabrics going together", but when you stand back and look on it, it's like magic.

    BTW, love the pics of all the quilts posted in here. Wish we had a "like" button.
