Love scrappies and yours is an original

I have a ton of scraps but never like the look of scrap quilts for some reason. I love this one! Thanks for posting!

What a great quilt!

Absolutely love your quilt! What a great way to use up those little pieces! This is one time being a "hoarder" is a good thing. Thanks for sharing.

I love your idea. I think it might be a great way to use up my scraps.

I absolutely love this quilt - you are so clever to do this.

Great modern looking quilt!!!

thanks everyone... appreciate yall taking the time to look and comment.... its a simple concept and real quick and easy to put together...

Mine thinks I'm nuts and the smallest I'll use is 1.5". He'd really think I'd gone loopy if I started using 1" pieces!

I love this scrappy. I just got through sewing a ton of odd size strips together, think I will cut them crossways and do like you did. I am piecing a lot of wheel chair lap quilts and my quilting friends are helping me quilt them, so I think this would be a good one to make. Thanks for sharing.

It's cute - well worth the time you must have put into it!

Love your quilt and am happy to say that I save all scraps. The tiny ones I save with thread bits and use for stuffing in dog/cat beds. Your bits and pieces quilt is very pretty and inspiring!

I use scraps all the time. It costs as much as the yardage you purchase so why throw it away. Very cute quilt of scraps.

I love those bright strips so fun but the large white strips are calling out for some unusual quilting. Just a thought.

im not much for FMQ-ing... SID, zig zag and whatever decorative stitch my machine can make is all i will ever do.. anything fancier the LA'er gets it.. lol..

That is so neat! What a great idea.

Very pretty!!!

I also save every little piece. I'm liking this idea. The large white pieces really sets off the scraps colors.

I like it - so nice!

well thats really cute!! way to use up all your fabric!

I really like this modern quilt and love using up scraps.

I save my scraps for my string bins. When straightening my ends before cutting strips I cut them just a little larger than I used to so they can be used for strings. Mostly 1" to 1 1/4" - I'll also join lengthwise and put them together. Here is my latest string block quilt. Needed a fast baby quilt, and then I bought a wonderful applique design mono and had to use that!

This is the cutest scrap quilt I've ever seen. THIS I could do. LOL

Love your quilt. I need to get mine out and get busy..

I so love this quilt, I especially love the name!!!!!!!!

Most of my quilts are scrap quilts. I am currently making a red,white and blue log cabin quilt for a wounded soldier. Here are some of my latest quilts, both quilts went to the 2 charities that I make quilts for. The first picture is a Spiderweb quilt, forgot how long it takes to quilt a twin size quilt. The second quilt is a log cabin, it hung in my guild's quilt show last year. The quilt judge was amazed at the sheer number of scraps, over 200 different fabrics; one of my grandkids counted them. :shock:
Both quilts went to the 2 charities I sew quilts for; The Linus Connection and Thank You Quilters, the 2 groups I sew for. #1 is for in-need kids, #2 is for wounded soldiers at Ft. Hood Army base in Texas.

At least they didn't throw it out! I'd have done lots more quilting.

Love it ! first scrappy quilt I love. Now I know what to do with my scraps. I never throw anything away. I just love all the ideas I get from this board. My quilt club thinks I am so smart. So I have begun forwarding some of the ideas from here to them so they now know my secret !

I love your [place of residence]!! and your quilt.

So you sew all these little pieces together then cut a straight line for sewing? I'm trying figure out how you did
that...I love it and I'm not a modern person, or a great sewer.

It's really a cool quilt!

Fantastic piecing and quilting. Creativity and simplicity......can't beat it!!! Thanks for sharing.

Your scrappy is definitely a hit:) Very attractive...will have to steal your idea for the future:) Thanks for sharing.

Pretty darn clever, I usually throw those away, or give them to a friend, she donates them to the school for kids to use in art classes.

Oooooh, I love it. Great job.

Love this scrappy! I'm a hoarder too of tiny pieces -- just can't throw them away!! Nice job!!

Love it! I'm going to try it using black background for my nephew.

Thanks everyone... Appreciate all the comments....

Kat asked how i did this.. Well..... it begins with a hoarder like me. lol.. Nah.... lol

I sew all my scrap strips to phone book pages...remove paper, starch STARCH, iron, and Ill measure and cut out sqs (6.5 /9 /10/ 11in sqs... depending on how long the strips are)
usually after i make my sqs cuts, there's a strip of unused fabric.. ill trim THAT scrap into 5in, 2.5in, 1.5in OR 1 in strips. depending on whats left how wide i can get it.. it gets saved until i have multiple strips of the length i want..

in this case i wanted the 1 inch strips 65 inch long...

hope this helps..
