All from the scrap pile.....
3 Attachment(s)
I am definitely a scrap quilter and saver of scraps of all sizes... usually nothing less than an inch tho, thats pretty much my limit.... the colored strips finishes at 1/2 inch... I basically used the leftover scraps when i cut down my strip blocks that i made using phone book pages.. If there was an inch left, it was saved for a rainy quilt day.. Yes thats the hoarder in me, if theres any usable fabric ill keep it !!!
i know there are a few 'wide' non stitched areas ( 4 inches) but im ok with it.. its just a throw, well from scraps that would of otherwise been tossed away ! So im not concerned about the batting bunching after years of washing and usage.. I'm ok with it. I love the crinkle look!!!! Its a warm throw to cuddle under on a chilly evening. I named it "Bits N Pieces" ... Thanks for looking.. .[ATTACH=CONFIG]466572[/ATTACH]. .[ATTACH=CONFIG]466573[/ATTACH]. .[ATTACH=CONFIG]466574[/ATTACH] |

Wonderful quilt! How clever! And to think I throw all those pieces away. I'll have to start saving them.
|
I'm a scrap saver too. I would rather make a quilt with scraps any day than to take yardage and cut it up! Love your Bits and Pieces:thumbup:
|
Love your quilt. Great idea for using up those scraps.

Well, isn't that just the cutest quilt! You are the thrifty quilter. Great idea and very pretty.

I make lots of scrap quilts....but my scrap pile doesn't diminish !!! I think scraps breed in the dark!!! Love your use of scraps! ,

I LOVE it! I, too like to make scrap quilts, and with so much background material, it helps to show off your brights. It looks very modern, too! Great inspiration.

Hee hee.. confession. its not white.. well it WAS white but it got dyed baby blue.. lol... just enough to soften it a bit and not make the strips shout " IN YOUR FACE" lol.. Second confession.. wasnt me who dyed it.. lol.. someone did, hated it and gifted it to me.. lol.. Soooooooo that makes this quilt almost free to make.. lol... |
love your idea, might have to try this
|

Your quilt is lovely and what a great use of scraps. I agree that it is an inspiration. Now where did I put all those wee pieces of fabric!

Very pretty I love your use of scraps.....
Everytime someone says from the scrap pile I envision some one burried under a haystack of scraps madly sewing trying to get to the top all the while a giant truck is pouring on more scraps....... Hahaha I can't help it |
Very nice. think every one will be saving the bits and pieces now. Love the colors to. You put them all in the right places. Thanks for sharing.
