I use Bonnie's patterns a lot for scrappy quilts.

I like mary's patterns for my charity quilts. Anything you like works fine.

I love Bonnie Hunter's quilts, but wondered what else people might be making that would be quick and easy.

You're right, May, I'm wondering about how to use the smallish pieces that are bigger than what you'd use to stuff a dog pillow, but less than, say, a half yard.

I started at 1 PM and finished the top at 8 PM with time out to make and eat dinner.
I'm making a strip quilt out of other scraps, but that is taking longer.
I'm making these for the eastern NY flood victims.


Thank you! I need specifics and this is exactly what I wanted to know...fabric selection, cutting size, the whole thing-I need to be able to see or have enough description to visualize the finished product

Your quilt sounds pretty and I love that you were able to put it together so quickly.
