Here's one of my favorites - out of The Big Book of Scrap Quilts:[ATTACH=CONFIG]606571[/ATTACH]

Arkansas Crossroads is one of my favorites too. Here is a great tutorial. http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/...-tutorial.html

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.

Sometimes I just want to sew, sew - so I just sew squares together. To gussy it up, I may then attach appliqué pieces to the top. Very relaxing and don't have to think much.

Trailmix uses 1.5" & 2" & 2.5" and I think 3.5"block if I remember correctly. It is a free pattern on Allpeople Quilt. Here is a link to the pattern: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-...ilts/trail-mix
Show pictures when you have decided on a pattern and what you did with your scraps....we can all use ideas:):thumbup:

Here is a great block for scraps - with free instructions

Another pattern for small and bigger blocks is Barn Dance. It is a free pattern - the pdf is at the bottom of the page. Here is the link: https://justquiltin.wordpress.com/ab...arn-dance-qal/

I love Arkansas Crossroads! I make it with leftover binding. Since I only cut my binding at 2 1/4” my blocks are a little smaller :sew: usually the pieces are 2 1/2”. You’ll find many patterns to choose from.

That's a good idea, time to start saving those :)

Arkansas crossroads looks fun, so many great idea!
