It's on my to-do list, but haven't done it yet.

These are 3 quilts that I made from the "quiltville.com" site. Two were donated for auction at the theater my son performs at in the summer and the bargello was a gift for the women who has housed him for the past few years. This web site has about 40 scrappy patterns for free personal use.

I love the scrappy quilts - to make and to look at.

I. LOVE. SCRAPPY. QUILTS!!!! Apparently, I'm in good company! For me, they seem to be very forgiving... I'm not a "detail" person... very "global"... and scrappy seems to forgive my sometimes-less-than-precise piecing. I LOVE seeing other's beautiful creations of scrappy quilts... but then, I love seeing other's beautiful creations...
Happy (scrappy) quilting!!

I love the scrappy look! I mainly buy fqs, & use as many different fabrics in all my quilts, as I can! I see some really lovely ones posted here too, great job everyone!

I was a scrappy quilt maker before I heard the expression.Mostly because I couldn't afford to buy several yds worth of fabric, so bought 1/4th yd at a time. When there was quite a bit, it was time to make a quilt.Usually from a mag or the one quilting book I owned.Never used old clothes, but that's great,if you have enough to cut up.
Over the yrs, found I hated making one color quilts.When I did, they went to family.None of them like scrappy.....that's ok, they're all mine :-) This is one of 2 made with all triangles.

This one is made from mens shirts from thrift shops. I gave this to a friend who is battling cancer. He says he uses it everyday when he takes his nap.
