I love scrap quilts. I wish I had the courage to do one with all colored squares.

I guess mine was a half scrappy. because the only time I ever did a one, I spent three days cutting 2" squares of all my scraps and what seemed like the same amount of time cutting a million and one cream colored squares. Then I had a basket of each and sewed them alternately in long strips, then sewed the strips together, it came out looking great, I really loved it. The cream colored fabric just pulled it all together and it didn't matter which color or shade of scrap I was using because the muslin was there in between them. I'd like to do another one just like it for a lap blanket.

The material I used for the cream colored squares unraveled really bad so I couldn't use the quilt for long. But I had it hanging in my sewing room for quite a while because it was so colorful(lots of reds.

I know a little more about fabrics now. And I plan to make another one like it.
