    Very attractive. I see you have discovered yellow as a nice compliment in "scrappies". I like it too. Don't have much yellow in my stash but find it an interesting color to show off other colors.

    What a great quilt, and a great way to use scraps.

    A lovely controlled scrappy. I find these more soothing than mixing all the colors randomly (though many prefer the scrappier the better). : )

    I'd copy this one even if I didn't have scraps to use. It's terrific!!!

    I am working with 2.5" strips and doing the 'race' type, for crib size. I do NOT like the race method and will be using your idea from now on with the charity quilts for my quilt club. Already decided never again to do a race quilt and your photo inspiration came at the right time to confirm my notion to do something else.

    Love your quilt and thank you for sharing.

    I really like this idea too. I have tons of 1 1/2 inch strips.

    Great quilt!
    Reminds me of the old candies in bright color called Charms.
    Anyone remember those?

    I too am NOT a fan of the race quilts. But lots of gals seem to like them.

    Thanks for your comment, make sure you post if you make one similar to this.
