Looking for scrappy ideas
 

I've got a bunch of small cuts of fabric anywhere from 2.5" to 1/2 yard and all sizes in between. I'm looking for a good pattern that lends itself to scraps. I was thinking possibly a log cabin. That is honestly my only idea haha. Any thoughts or scrappy quilts to share with me? Thanks Joe

Bonnie Hunter is totally scrappy. Here are a lot of her free patterns http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html

there is a scrappy thread in the Challenge subforum - come join the fun!

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.

I like Chinese Coins. A strip of a thin old sheet as a base will keep it stabilized.

There are so many patterns that lend themselves well to scrappy quilts. Here are a few of mine.

Boxed Squares
Tradewinds (or something similar)

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

Thanks those are awesome!

Thanks, I'll look for it!

Good idea with the pre-cutting, my scap box is messy lol

I'll look up Chinese coins!
