I saw the trunk show for "Sunday Morning Quilts" and it was fabulous.
The neatest thing was the quilts were all made from actual scraps- they didn't buy fabric or cut into stash for them. (Except one: apparently she made the quilt, didn't love the colors and then only had like 4 days to make it again, so she had to cut into some of her stash to get enough scraps in the new colorway.)

I have given up buying books on scrappy quilts as there are so many lovely ones online, Bonnie Hunters and Maryquilts to name just two.
