I usually don't do scrap quilt, but I am making two scrappy log cabins. It has about every fabric in my scrap bin in them...small floral, large floral, paisley, stipes, tone on tones..you name it, it is there, and in every color.
I'm doing the stright furows, and looking good. I will be posting a picture in a couple days of both of them.

It turned out to be the coolest quilt ever.

I try not to use the same fabric twice in my stuff. Check out my stuff. Just click on my name and then click on my posts and you can see the threads I have posted. There are so many ways to use scraps!!
