Love the quilts that are posted. I have so many scraps and whenever I made a scrappy quilt it was really scrappy. These quilts are lovely, I guess it's what is referred to as organized scrappy. I need to get my act together and do more organizing of my scraps. My great nephew often sits with me in my sewing room, he's been bugging me about teaching him how to sew. I have an Elna 3007, great little workhorse, that I said I would teach him on, but yesterday I let him play around with all the built in stitches on my BabyLock Espire, he was having fun.

This is my favorite scrappy pattern. It uses 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch bricks. Pattern is on my friend's blog http://b-quilts.com/blog/

I'm not normally a huge scrap quilt fan, but I do like them now and then. I made one scrappy quilt before, pictured below, but I haven't ventured into it, since. I think I need to make a few, though. I've been throwing all of my scraps into a tote bin for a while, now, but it's needing to be emptied. So, what are some of your favorite patterns for scrap quilts? I know about log cabins and crazy quilts, but are there any other ones?

I have three: (1) bricks; (2) Yellow Brick Road; and (3) foundation-pieced string quilts with a common center/diagonal fabric Yellow Brick Road. All scraps are cut into the sizes needed for bricks and Yellow Brick Road and put into dedicated shoebox bins. What's left goes into the string bin, which has a range of cut widths from 1" to 1 3/4".
