this is divine, pennyJanine. I love it!

I love scrappy quilts and prefer to make them over other types. I think a scrappy quilt reflects our American heritage of "making do" with what we have on hand and is a great challenge to put together odds and ends and create somethiung beautiful. :)

I love scrappy!! It gives my Bff heartburn!! I do almost all scrappy and she does Applique.

What a fantastic thread...gorgeous quilts and lots of inspiration. Once I finish my huge pile of mending and a wretched doona cover I started a month ago...scrappy here I come!

Thank you SaraSewing. Love that pattern and it looks so easy too.

Sara--me! me! too--and I love your quilts. I learned to quilt from my grandmother some 50-60 years ago. She and her neighbors and relatives met regularly to quilt, and I played under the quilt frame with my cousins. It's amazing what you can learn from beneath a quilt frame.

Their quilts were all scrap quilts--leftover pieces from garments, and many were leftover feedsack pieces from dresses, aprons, etc. they'd made. When I began quilting, my mother-in-law, aunts, older cousins loaded me down with frabic scraps. I'm still working my way through that huge stash.

I am now going through my mother-in-laws estate. Recently I opened a huge trunk to find it filled with feed and flour sacks. I am delighted, but I will have to share this stash. I'm in my late 60's. No way could I quilt my way through all of this.

Oops--correct "frabic" to "fabric" in post above. I'm a retired English teacher (high school and college). I do hate to see my typos in print!!!

Beautiful quilts, I too love the old fashioned scrappy quilts with everything but the kitchen sink in them. no thinking - just sew sew sew and enjoy enjoy enjoy!

I can see why ... It is a very nice looking quilt. Easy, too! Just a simple nine patch, being careful to alternate the placement of lihts and darks. I can definitely make this with my precut 2",
3 1/2", or 5" Scrap Therapy squares. Thanks for posting.

Really like the Broken Dishes ...... Very pretty.
