planned scrappies
One way of making easy scrap quilts from any pattern is to sort your scraps into color groups. Then take a quilt with two or three predominant colors and use scraps of that color. This is a planned scrappy. I usually add one color that is not scrappy like the creme or make sure the cremes I use are very close. this helps tie it together. also you can use a nice print as a boarder and pick up in the colors in the border by using scraps in the center. The top quilt with the orange and blue is an example of that. I use paper piecing to use up smaller scraps. Two three and four are examples of using color groups and the last three have yardage of military fabric plus a Kona black, pink or red added to tie it together.
