Beautiful scrap quilt! I wonder if you sew those pieces to each other or if you use a lightweight cotton or muslin and sew the scraps to that first and then cut out the squares?? The pattern is such a great way to use your scraps.

I am pretty sure that scraps have panic attacks when you start using them and they start reproducing! I love making scrappy quilts and I never seem to run out ...
By the way, that is a beautiful quilt!

My scrap bins do not appear to have been depleted any, so on to #5. Also a pic of U of Alabama wallhanging I have been working on, added a few more of the applique pieces so the elephant is all done. Now deciding on borders for it. Will probably go to a son who is a fan.

Thank you all for such wonderful comments. Yes I am time traveling- 3013 (LOL). no really, I just cant type. Raine, bookmark away. For those who asked how it was made, it is just a string quilt on foundation. I cut squares of an old sheet to use as foundation. The only thing planned was the blue fabric that tied it together. I bought yards of it at a garage sale several years ago really cheap. I cut the blue into the same width strips, 2 inche, and started my blocks with that going through the center of the block on the diag. Then I just sewed different strips to each side until the foundation was covered. I squared the block trying to make sure the blue was centered as much as possible then sewed the blocks together.
