I got past the What?? page when I realized for me, scrappy was color, not pattern. Any pattern you like Just imagine each color as the whole spectrum from your stash.
It would be interesting to take a quilt you've already made, and like, and remake it in scraps? I'm working at precutting down my stash as I won't be able to do that with precision before long...kind of like canning my stash :) Here is an example of my storage, and any Bonnie Hunter quilt is an example of the result. |
How about Eleanor Burns “Jewel Box Quilt”?

Triple Irish Chain is very pretty scrappy.

I am following along with a scrappy quilt-a-long. Try going to https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.c...a-new-project/
Deanna does beautiful work and patterns are free. Most are scrappy patterns. I am presently cutting for several of these quilt patterns. She is so helpful also if you have any questions. |

This is my scrap quilt. It uses scraps that are 2 1/2 in squares, 2 1/2 in x 3 1/2 inch strips and 2 1/2 in x 6 1/2 inch strips. If you're interested please PM me and I can send more complete instructions.( this offer is for anyone interested) |
We have a great thread here on the QB that has been ongoing for years. It's for scrappy quilts! It's over 100 pages long, so make some coffee. I scroll through it just to look at pictures every once in a while. You'll find tons of inspiration there.

Do you or a friend use dryer sheets? Instead of throwing those away, use them as the foundation for string quilts. Use the ones that are no longer scented or usable for softening. Also, a person can use phone book pages but, of course, that probably needs to be removed. I suppose the paper might "wash out" in time but I would think it best to remove.

Any string quilt is good for scraps. Some of my favorites, Spiderweb, french braid, postage stamp, path through the woods, instead of a regular log cabin try a curved log cabin for a different look. I just made a shimmer quilt using scraps. Almost any pattern can be scrapped up. Have fun.

Great ideas on this post. Thanks to all who shared.

I agree with looking at Bonnie Hunter's website. I've been doing a lot of scrappy lately and she has excellent ideas.
|
Looks like a fun quilt and yes this type of project takes a while...but worth the effort IMHO...good luck!
