Brown bag it.. cut variety of sqs- put in two bags ,. pull one from each and sew..only exception is the same exact fabric- but if you cut up scraps its pretty rare to pull the same exact two... dont think.. just sew.. put in a movie and just sew.. this is leaders and enders.. 2x2 sqs..

more leaders and enders 2x2.. |
gigigray-Wow I really like this. Are the blocks 2 1/2" square and 2 1/2 x 5"blocks? This looks like something I could do.
luvTooQuilt, yours are also super. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK |
You can try "controlled" scrappy. Instead of one red (blue, whatever) put in 12 or 25! I love fabric - all of it & think more is better. If you keep the "feel" the same -like modern or repro or whatever - it will all work. Scrappy doesn't & shouldn't mean kitchen sink. Good luck

I love scrap quilts. I just finished four of the same quilts for my staff, and just started eight for nieces, and nephews. I am now picking strips out of a container, and adding on as I go. It is very fast, and since I work long hours, it doesn't take thought to do it. I also have been in swaps for squares to make postage stamp quilts. I am lucky that some of the board members shared some of the most wonderful fabric scraps.. Yes, I am grateful...

I suggest you go to www.Quiltville.com, which is Bonnie Hunter' s website. Lots of scrappy fun and ideas over there.

I like you, want everything in order. I started my "freedom" quilting by making 3 crazy quilts for my grandkids, but I still was very aware of matching colors next to each other, etc. I then made a 3" charm quilt. After cutting my squares, I threw the blocks in the dryer on air and let them mix. then I put them in a bag, and took them out without looking. I was able to "let go' this way and it actually turned out very nice. If I could ever figure out how to post pics, I would.

I recently made a scrappy string quilt for my grandson. Didn't think I would like it at first (I was using all my scrap pieces) but when I had it completed, I loved it. So does my grandson.

Love scrappy quilts!
The 1st one I made had only one common theme. Black fabric in the middle strip. At first it was hard to just grab a piece of fabric and sew. But you know what? Turned out to be fun! [ATTACH=CONFIG]457804[/ATTACH] |
