What is your fav scrappy pattern?
 

Spent all day..except for when I was at work for four hrs..reorganizing my 24 containers of fabric. Ended up with three containers of sraps...all diff sizes. What is your fav scrappy pattern? Going to donate the quilts to Quilts of Valor but not red white and blue. All suggestions w/b considered. I'm just too tired to make a decision. Thanks guys!

Do you have a fav scrapy pattern?
 

Have four containers of scraps..various sizes..that need to be made into a quilt. Thanks for the help guys!

Triple Irish Chain...that is my very favorite!

Go to http://Quiltville.com for some free scrappy quilt patterns. You will use up your scraps pretty quickly and make some gorgeous quilts!

My favorite is log cabin! It just lends itself so well to lots of scraps.

I love them all !

I made my first quilt when I was 16. My Aunt cut up an old sheet into squares and we just started sewing bits and pieces of old clothing to it then when it was full, flipped it upside down and trimmed to the sheet edge. Made for some interesting quilts. I still have two of them. My youngest refuses to let me throw away the one I gave him - we have replaced the backing twice! The fronts too raggedy to fix now. The quilts over 40 years old!

I love love love making string quilts! I got the idea from quiltville and absolutely love doing this pattern. There are no rules, just sew strips to strips (you can use small squares on the ends) and they come out so gorgeous! I like to use fabric foundations, some people like to use paper, it's up to you!

log cabin or string
 

either one. We started making scrappy Log Cabins years ago for a lady who owned a quilt shop and gave us her scrap fabric. She said, just put ALL the fabrics in together, and it came out great!

The string quilt is one of my miniature ones.

I am sewing the SpiderWeb quilt from quiltville. The blocks are going together well, getting me over my fear of paper piecing. My stash has to be getting smaller. This scrappy quilt will be made completely from the scraps from quilts, etc that I have sewn, so a bit of everything will be in one. The exception here is the off white middle triangles, although I have had this fabric for some time, too, never cut into it until now.

My personal scrappy favorite, out of all the quilts I've made, has to be my Pineapple.

I love the patterns from www.Quiltville.com. She has lots to choose from!!

Log cabin and all its variations.

next on my list Snake River ( Log Cabin )

Peckish, OMG! your quilt absolutely takes my breath away. Love, love, love it! I can see why it is your favorite. Beautiful.

My all time favorite scrappy quilt is the Love Ring variaiton of Drunkard's Path. I shared mine on PellonProjects.com and hope you have as much fun as I do.

I love string quilts, because you can use any width or even wonky strips. Here is a great link

This is going to be my next scrap quilt:

I like patch (either 4- or 9-) and I Spy quilts. so much fun to make!

I just ck'd this site & as I scrolled down, I found a video by Bonny Hunter where she shows how to cut down a shirt for the fabric. Can't believe the pcs. she found that I would have tossed like the collar & cuffs.
It's funny since I just put 6-8 beaut. shirts in a thrift store bag as I try to trim down my house. Problem is, I don't need the fabric.

I am a Flying Geese fan!

luv the pictures. thx for sharing. makes me want to make them all.

Agree wholeheartedly!

This is the first Bonnie Hunter quilt I ever did. I just kept sewing away and ended up with enough Bricks and Stepping Stones for 2 quilts. :-) http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...ng-stones.html

This looks great. I really like the yellow in there to "sunny" things up! Thanks for the link!

I think any scrap quilt is a beautiful quilt, for a lot of reasons... the most important is that no fabric is wasted... the second is that one's creative side is stimulated... unfortunately, my creative side is a bit challenged (sigh), but with a scrap quilt it doesn't matter!!

And Peckish... I, too, think that is a fabulous quilt!! It's a pattern I will try sometime!!

That is really cool, thimblebug. I have it in my "to do" file. Thanks.

I love log cabins, string quilts, trip around the world, maybe postage stamp, so many to choose from and soooooo little time

I forgot about this one, and i know i have the book or pattern somewhere, thank you for reminding me

Try this one too: http://selvageblog.blogspot.com

I couldn't agree more! That is one stunning quilt... I absolutely love it!!!

I second that one, Bonnie Hunter is the queen of scraps!

Hey, I just started this one tonight. The directions are very thorough and it is really fun to do.

I, too, love, love, love 9-Patch... especially when combined with Snowball blocks. Here's one I made years ago... nothing fancy, but I like it...

There are really so many, it just depends on how much work you want to do to organize them. Do you want to first cut them into strings and separate them dark/light? Then maybe a string quilt or log cabin? If not, then maybe one like I've done with just strips with a bold color separating them. Do you like the totally haphazard look of a crazy scrappy?

There are scrappy chinese coin patterns...very easy. It really depends on you and how much work you want to do. There have been some really fantastic scrappy quilts done and posted here. Spend some time looking through the scrappy quilt show on here.

This is my favorite scrappy quilt. You can do it with planned coordinating fabrics but I like the scrappy.

This is the link to the thread posted by Charisma after she did the quilting. I really like how it turned out.

I like using up my scrap squares with a 4x4 (16 squares) or 5x5 (25 squares) block, always including 3 black squares in each block.
I get , if I use 2 1/2" squares, an 8" or a 10" finished square. I sash with black 2 1/2 (cut) strips.
It's a very simple and easy to put together top and always looks good.

I love Bonnie Hunter's crayon box....it's on her site. I've made 10 of them

I made a quilt called "Nickel Bricks" and had it quilted in red thread. I'm considering making it again for one of the wedding gifts for our daughter, Alea. It was such a fun quilt to make, so colorful, easy, and I absolutely love how it turned out. It's the quilt pictured on the bottom.
