I just take all of my smaller scraps, put them in a large "If it fits it ships"box and offer it to someone here for postage.
They are gone so quick, I don't second guess myself!

Sounds like you have had a very busy summer, and certainly made good use of your time!

Just saw a quilt on FaveQuilts that is called "Scrappy Bargello" that looks quite nice. I think I'll be trying this one.

I just saw a quilt today, wedding quilt I think. They used a block in the corner and then added strips to each side to make a block you could make any size block. I would just make strip quilt blocks . You could also make the H block , Log cabin (scrappy),strip pot holders, strip place mats , baby quilts, etc.

I do the same thing with my leftovers; so I have pre-cut strips ready for a no brainer project. I you type in "strip quilt" search and just view Images, you'll find a myriad of quilt pictures for inspiration that just use strips. There is also Gwen Marston's book on strip quilting. I've also spent time sewing the random strips together, interjecting smaller block cuts and made new fabric. Whenever I have a small baby quilt, wall quilt or art quilt to back, I use the strip fabric on the backside. Not only does it present an interesting feature, the variety of prints helps to cover up any stitch tension issues.

One more I thought of, is the Plus Quilt. It's on my to-do list.

So many great ideas. Jelly rolls are quite versatile for quilt making. Justflyingin, do you like to make Chinese coin quilts? They lend themselves nicely to scraps.

Hi Phranny

The 1st quilt you posted is mine. It was actually made from 3.5 x 2 inch pieces but you could make it from 4.5 x 2.5 inch pieces.
