I do puzzle pattern. Great way to use up odd pieces of fab. I do snowball quilts too and use the corner from the squares to put in the border. If I find a new block I'm not sure I want to do a big quilt, I'll do a charity quilt. I sew for Quilts for Kids so I know if it's doesn't fit my taste, one of their kiddos will love it.

All of these quilts and ideas are wonderful. Thanks to all for sharing. I have found many good patterns for charity quilts.

This is outstanding! I love scrap quilts and I love 3D quilts so this is a hit with me! Does it matter what size the strips are ? I am going to try to do this one starting tonight!

If you've got scraps that are strips, make some rail fences. They are so quick and each one can be different by the placement of color or number of rails in the block. The stair step effect, the diagonal across the quilt, is also so eye appealing.

I agree with you Jan, rail fence is so quick. I think it makes a beautiful quilt!

Here's the link: http://sundays-quilts.blogspot.com/2...hip-quilt.html
This is what I consider the Potato Chip Quilt. HOWEVER, there are other versions so the name is applied to more than one pattern. I find these really relaxing to make and they go quickly. Another QB member calls this pattern the Rainy Day quilt.

Ditto... I, too, am "pattern figuring out" challenged, too... LOL!
