How about a Take 5 quilt?
Enlarge it to make a queen. |

Yes, I am determined to use fabric from my stash. I don't mind buying blenders to go with my fabric, but I do want to use the fabric that I have.
From now on I'm only going to buy fabric in 3 or 4 yard cuts for my stash, but really, I don't think I'll be buying much fabric for my stash. It's just too hard to find quilts to use it in. At least for me it is hard. I start with a rectangle appx 13 x 15 and go from there, just adding to it, using smaller sizes sewn together to match the size. They really go fast too. |
Yes Braided quilts are fabulous. I have made 4 of them 3 twin sized and 1 king size.
I had a ton of single yards of fabric. Works great |

This is not just for one pattern, but many different blocks. I hope you are willing to look through for some really neat patterns http://www.quilt.com/Blocks/AlphaBlockList.html

After looking at my posts, I had to laugh. I had (have) a ton of scraps (yes) and having been a quilter for many years, also my daughters decided to take it up and folded, so I inherited all their fabric, which most were purchased in 1 to 2 yard pieces, and not all of them I would have chosen. So I have made tons of scrap throws, and quite a few scrap twin to king size quilts.
I start in January making for a nursing home, or children s wing at a hospital, what ever charity I decide for that year. I hope you decide on a wonderful way to use your yardage, I love scrappy quilts, no two are alike, they are total originals. Remember "in scrappy there's no wrong, every fabric is exactly where it is suppose to be" |
Thank you all for your excellent suggestions!
