I have seen those and they are awesome, im trying to avoid buying any interfacing or anything just working with what I have on hand.

You could try Pinterest and just type in "scrappy quilts" and there will be a place to see the images of tons of scrappy quilts. KalamaQuilts--love your organization and like how you have all of the colors separated.

There is a site called Quilted Twins that shares dozens of great patterns for scraps. You'll love it!

https://www.quiltedtwins.com/free-patterns-layout-2 scroll down to the patterns and click on a picture to open the pattern. This site is wonderful!

The QB member Tartan posted a wonderful scrappy today if you want to look at it. Looks the me like it is the chisel pattern piece repeated but I could be wrong. Really different and striking.

Joe, you could use the pages of a phone book for the foundation.

or you could make up your own as I did with
"Pipe Dream"

Fantastic! Lovely! Well done!
What did you imagine the pipe coming out of? The blue in the lower right corner? Is it a toilet lid, or what? :-)

Boston all of your quilts are gorgeous. You used such gorgeous fabrics.

Joe, you could make 9 patch or four patch, the sky is the limit. I have made some string type quilts as QAYG. Very pretty.

I have a scrappy Arkansas Crossroads in the works as my leaders/enders right now. Dozens of 2 1/2" squares and a background fabric. There is a quilt gallery in the pictures section - you can look up just scrappy quilts. If your scraps are 5" square, you can use many patterns written for charm packs by cutting your own. MSQC has several like Falling Charms.
