Scrappy quilts are fun to make and the receivers love them also.. I use the grab in the bag method, string quilts on a foundation, and 3,4,5 in squares. Also use strips. Have fun and hugs

nicely done... love the scrappy colors

After finishing a project all left over fabric is cut into squares or strips before I begin another project. That is the only way to keep them from gettin ahead of you.

Thanks. My quilt inspector "helps" with everything!!

amazing quits everyone.

I was going to suggest the tumbler quilt also. Very easy and quick. You can use any size of tumbler pattern, I have done 5 inch and want to try 10 inches.

Here's another voice chiming in to check out the free patterns on Bonnie Hunter's website. This pattern is the first one of her quilts that I made. I just kept whacking off rectangles from yardage and making B&W four patches and ended up with enough for two quilts, lol. After this I was hooked on scrappy! http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...ng-stones.html

Besides www.Quiltville.com, there is www.MaryQuilts.com. They both offer a lot of free patterns to use scraps and strings. There are books galore ready to show you even more scrappy patterns and ideas. Currently I am trying Bonnie Hunter's concept of leaders and enders. There is a good explanation of it on the website. She also has a book under the same title. I was enjoying myself much making those crumb blocks from odd shaped pieces that I had to remind myself I needed to work on a specific project, too. :D

I recently started a scrappy quilt that is so easy , no measuring..what ever size your strips are you just sew them Together and then turn them on point and cut what ever size squares you like..it adds so much interest for them to be set on point..if you would like I,could send you some pictures.

I posted this over the weekend;

The blocks pictured are "slabs" and they are fun to make. You don't have to have any particular pattern or size of fabric to make them. I did mine and sent them to Canada for a project they are working on for flood victims there. You can read about it and see a photo of a quilt that comes from this sort of thing right here:

Now that I've made mine and sent them off, I would like to make a quilt for myself this way.
