along with all the other good ideas that have been thrown out there her's mine. You can sew a number of blocks together, say 4 x 4 or what every size you want, then use black to frame them. In the end it looks sorta like a stain glass window.
good luck and please post pictures of your progress! and of course a pictures of the finished quilt.

Tried to find the videos on easymade.com after registering but did not see them. What am I missing? -- probably good eyesight. Love Bonnie Hunter's scrap quilts and have made about 6 of the scrappy bargello and after being in one of her talks at a quilt guild meeting am working on the "Virginia Bound" found in her new book Scraps and Shirttails. Has anyone else tried this one? I'm using up my dark and light fabric and gradually collecting plaid and striped shirts for the next one.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the scrap quilts. Awesome! The nine patch inspired me today to go through my scraps--love a 9-patch! I saw a guest quilter on a quilting show and she was color blind. She can only tell lights and darks and makes wonderful quilts. She literally puts lights in one bag and medium and darks in another. Thank you for the inspiration!

Another great way to use up scraps, particularly irregular cuts, is the crumb quilt. There are some fabulous instructions for the crumb square in the tutorial section.

I took a class from Lynn Roddy Brown on scrap quilting. The supplies list was 4 dark and 4 light fabrics. There were about 20 in the class. We all made 4 squares with our fabrics and then Lynn put them on the wall. Amazing what it looked like when none of us had anywhere near the same fabrics.
