Scrap Quilts
 

After quilting for the past 7 years, I have now accumulated many scraps. I am looking for some Scrap Quilt patterns that have smaller pieces, such as 4" squareor smaller pieces (because I really do not like scrap quilts with bigger pieces). I am also looking for patterns that will be quick to do as I work full time and do long arm quilting for customers so I don't have much time to dedicate to piecing my own quilts., But my goal is to make some scrap quilts this next year. Any suggestions?

IMHO the best 'scrap' sites ~ http://quiltville.com/
& http://www.maryquilts.com/

they both have lots of quilt

I agree. Lot's of great quilts at both sites.

I have made lots of scrappy quilts and posted them here. None of mine show up, maybe they are not spectacular enough.
Oh well, I will survive.

Check out Kim Diehl's books, she makes alot of scrap quilts. I am in a class now and making a scrap Courthouse Steps Quilt with a pieced border from one of her books. Simple to make and I love it! We made it like a charm quilt where we did not repeat fabrics in the blocks (aside from the creams). It's going to be one of my favorites, I can tell. Good luck and most of all, have fun.

Oh dear! This list is maintained by a member who cannot possibly find every quilt worthy of inclusion on the list without help from us. As indicated on the site, "If you have a quilt you would like included in this album, please send a PM to cat-on-a-mac, and include a link to the original post where a picture of the quilt can be found." We would all like to see your quilts included!

WOW those were awesome.. great idea to put them all together for easy viewing.. So many of them are on my bucket list.. Good luck choosing for all those beautiful quilts..

I thought with the Scrappy quilt show, you are supposed to go and post in that thread. It's very, very long!

I didn't even know about the other albums. :)

Chiclets is a great free pattern, and uses 2.5 inch squares. Just start making 4 patches, then combine 4 of those into the 16 patch.

Thanks you for all the replies so far. Can't wait to check some of these sites to see what I can find that interests me.

What I have done when faced with a pile of scraps, is to sew them together on muslin blocks. I can then cut up the blocks any way I like, using it just like fabric, and I make almost any kind of quilt with it. It's really quite exciting to do!

Try favequilts.com. I find lots of great patterns there especially for charity scrap quilts as that is what our members donate.

Why not cut your scraps into 4 inch blocks? Moda Bake Shop has some cute scrappies. I like working with 2 1/2 inch strips. If I ever figure out how to load pics, you'll get to see them.

Thanks for the link to Mary's Quilts. I have the fabric for Birds on a Wire and was wondering what to do with it! Perfect!

this is one we call Sugar and Spice. Good if you have a lot of white or muslin scraps. We make it with really small pieces but you can adapt to any size.

I really like this. What size pieces do you use?

I really like this pattern. Thanks.

This tutorial is a bit confusing and maybe you can come up with your own approach but it will use your scraps without being scrappy. http://www.annamariahorner.com/Feather.Bed.Quilt.pdf

Bonnie Hunter has wonderful free patterns!

exploding star is beautiful ,you use all lights and darks no medium colors.

Yes, I am curious too. Amazing quilt!

Hi, I bought a trapezoid ruler and had not used it. Then, my son got married spur of the moment and I asked if they wanted a quilt. I had visions of making a pretty quilt with a color scheme to go with their home. She decided she wanted scrappy. Well, I used that trapezoid ruler and cut out peices from all my scraps. It is looking beautiful. I am not putting a sashing between the rows and it's very pretty. I could have had it done in about a month, but my hubby had a heart attack and it got put on a back burner. It is a queen size. I had some John Deere, motor oil, flowers, stripes, you name it--it's in there! Several people have seen it and thought it was very pretty!!

Yes, she has a really nice selection of scrappy quilts. Good Luck !!
