I found this 3" Tumbler template at JoAnn's. It's the perfect size for using up my small scraps. This made a lap size quilt and didn't make a dent in my scrap bag! I like seeing what everyone's making. You inspire me. Thanks!

Newby0709 ... Your picture taking will be improve, but it was good enough for me to say, "BRAVO!"
You have a great start for a scrappy quilt. Thank you for posting your pictures.
Are you making each block as a pattern? Or did these three just happen to be the end of a quilt project?
Will be waiting for the completed project!

One section gave me fits (ended up having to do it by hand!)
but, here is the completed quilt from the scrap blocks I started with at the top of this list ... I have two different lightings, (in the same place at the same time of day?) and somewhere between them is probably the true color ...
TIP! when you are ready to put odd shaped blocks together with a connecting fabric ... lay the blocks out and START IN THE MIDDLE WORKING OUTWARD <g> I found myself working from the outside, in, and am surprised it ended up as well as it did - - even square (or pretty square)
but, I'm starting in the middle next time <g>
