Scrappy quilts are my favorites.. I usually only make scrappy quilts. I really love the second one.. I like something like the shashing that pulls it all together.
Beautiful quilts, a job well done!

These are two I'm very pleased with. I have another one I finished recently but it is decidedly "not as good" in that the design (the colors) aren't as defined. Thus, the quilt ends up being kind of a mish-mash and not as pleasing to the eyes. Live and learn. From now on I'll do my scrappies with a bold or very light or bright sashing.

One of the speakers to visit my quilt guild last winter said to "lighten the load" of our scrappy quilts, we should use cotton batiste for the foundation of the squares. It's so much lighter and works good. It must be cotton and not cotton/poly to play well with the cotton quilting fabric. Sometimes it's hard to find, so when I do see it, I tend to buy several yards.
And your quilts are beautiful!!
