Sally in Fla, I was fortunate enough to have a really fine quilting instructor for my first 3 years as a quilter. IMHO, the reason quilting remains a vibrant art form has a great deal to do with the willingness of most quilters to share their knowledge freely. I had lots of help and I try to pass it on.

I make scrappy's without a foundation to it.
I just take scraps and start sewing them together and when I think it's big enough I start cutting it down to size.
Now I take my scrappy's that are sewed and make rag quilts with them. I recently made one and everyone locally and here online like it.
I've got orders to make those scrappy rag quilts and was also just asked to teach a class on it at one of the guilds. Who knew it would be such a big thing.
BY THE WAY this is a great tutorial. Enjoyed reading it.

I love those scrappys! Thanks for sharing a wonderful idea. What's really strange is that I recognize a lot of your fabrics. Looks like my scrap stash. lol! I really like the idea of starting with an odd shape and building on it. Wonderful idea!

I really like scrappy quilts and this technique but I struggle with getting all these square sof batting together and the weight and bulk from the finnished quilt. Any tips? I use Warm and Natural batting.
