I like to make samplers, and scraps are perfect for those, with a unifying fabric for sashing and cornerstones made of scraps. I recently found a great book - The Big Book of Scrap Quilts - which has 77 patterns. It is super and has given me quite a few new ideas. I also like a pattern for scrappy stars that I found on Eleanor Burns' Quilt in a Day website - it has 16 patches made from 2" squares in the centers and is quite easy.

I think my favorite is one I just finished...It is a tumbler quilt....I put 1 scrap color and then a print on print off white
between each one. It turned out much nicer then I expected. Made a queen size and will probably make another.

I agree also. Mary and Bonnie are favs of me. Just love Bonnie Hunter's organizational approach to the quilts. They turn out looking so complex yet are easy when you follow her directions.

Arkansas Roads is a great pattern for 2 1/2 inch scrap squares.

Your scrappy quilt is beautiful and looks perfect on the bed. I agree that Jenr8r posted were great and easy to follow. I made a scrappy twin size quilt following her tutorial a year or so ago. I always planned to make a queen size one , when I get back to sewing on the machine. My twin one was all hand sewn while laid up in bed. Thanks for sharing your masterpiece.

I agree with others who suggested Bonnie Hunter & Mary's quilts. Another good one is called 'Bust Yo Scraps'.

One of my favorite patterns for scrappy pieces is Depression.

Jane Quilter

had to look up the depression quilt Justabitcrazy mentioned. Didn't know the name, but I have made that quilt before. It always turns out great.
