Great job! Most from scraps too! I really like the last two! Love the use of the patterned fabric squares in the sashing and as a border to break up the cream color!

WOW, they are all gorgeous. I'm using up my scraps too, working on the 3rd now. Mine aren't near as great as yours. It is very hard to use up scraps, I think they multiply at night. You are very creative.

Soooooo, from that big old box of scraps i`ve made four quilts....and i still have scraps left...yep!! LOL Go figure....but i did have to go into my stash a bit.....for the snowball quilt i had to use two of my fabrics because i just couldn`t find what I needed in the box for the look I wanted. The snowball quilt is a pattern from a magazine but the others I designed as went....the orange, and the light brown in the snowball quilt came from my stash...as well in the forth quilt, the dark fabric in the sashing was mine...so i really did good....i wanted to use up the whole box....so i will be keeping the rest and will cover another adding machine roll ....but not just yet....that one i will send off later...so in the next week or two she will receive her box back with eight tops...her four and my four as well as all the backings for mine....you can see her box in one of the photos as well as what is left of the scraps...must admit i did have fun....
Very creative! Each different but special
