You are an inspiration. I think I like the yellow the best. I keep saving patterns for using my scraps for that special day.....

Oh, soooo very nice! Sooo colorful. I have made a commitment to use up my scraps & boy did I find I have a lot! So I've been making star blocks for a GS graduating in 3 yrs out of my stash, then the next yr his brother & my oldest GD, then next yr her sister, then in 3 yrs another GD, 2 yrs later another GD, 2 yrs later the baby GD . So I pray that God gives me continued good health to finish. Also pray I've started soon enough!!

Those are all terrific quilts. What a great way to use scraps... notice I didn't say "use UP" scraps. I suspect you now have just as many scraps, only smaller! Can't wait to see what you make with those.

Your quilts make me want to cut up yardage to make scraps.

(Love the black sashing.)

I do aq lot of scrap quilts also. Then I see I haven't made a dent in the scraps. So,I give them to the churches here in town that have sewing days. They love getting them! They make quilts for their missions.
I do sort them into small and large, as they usually like working with one size. One church uses just small and the other likes the large strips and blocks.
I always feel so good helping someone, and it frees me up to something I really want to make!

WOW!! I love them all, but red is my favorite, I also love scrappies, I just received an e-mail on how to store and cut for uses like this, I love log cabins, so I will start cutting for this and table runners and a trip around the world. Thank you for sharing your quilts.
