What a great idea from scraps and quilting as you go. Good job. I'll put that one on my bucket list.

I used Warm & Natural batting. It's a bit heavy as it's got so many (thousands,

by just turning it over.



This one is "Buggy Wheels". I used white sashing and white binding on this side.

I dubbed this [string quilt] side "Just the Scraps, Ma'am"! I used black sashing
and black binding on this side.

These two photos show the reverse of each side.

Wow!!! You will get pleasure everytime you see it... I love how the scraps all work together to make a bright cheery reversible quilt.

Wildernessties 10-25-2013 08:11 AM

That quilt is amazing!! I can hardly believe you pieced both sides!!! To me that looks like a lifetime of work just on one quilt. Spectacular is how I'd describe both sides. I seem to find I am partial to scrappy quilts.

I bet that scrap bag is a little lighter now! Beautiful quilt. I agree, you should enter that in a show!

QuiltingHaven 09-18-2019 04:17 PM

That is one great quilt on one side and another one on the other. You are wonderful!!!!

quiltingshorttimer 09-18-2019 07:59 PM

that is so darn cool! only problem I would have is which side to have up on which day!

tranum 09-19-2019 04:22 AM

One of the most “ambitious” projects I’ve ever seen ! Nice !

Sharonquilts 09-19-2019 06:35 AM

Ditto. I am currently losing a battle with my scraps...They keep getting reinforcements from my "Fabric Angel"! :o

Love what you have done with your scraps and a Quilt-As-You-Go to boot. I have had a QAYG in the lurch for 11 years, but I have never done one before and have been a little hesitant. This makes me want to pull it out and get 'er done!

Jerseyrayne 10-15-2019 11:50 AM

I love your quilt, beautiful job. I love scrappy quilts!

Bug Lady 10-16-2019 09:58 AM

I absolutely love the quilt !!! Nice job and thanks for sharing.

This is beautiful.

ckcowl 11-18-2019 03:58 AM

That is Fabulous! Oh my goodness I Love both sides. What a great way to tame those scraps. I truly need to do something like this. I never thought about doing both sides like that. Love, love, love it

sue.ross.8782 11-18-2019 10:32 AM

spectacular results. Both sides are bright and colorful.:o

KLTQuilts 11-18-2019 02:09 PM

Wow! Beautiful work - scrappy makes it "one of a kind"! I've been tempted to try the QAYG method but haven't - now I'm inspired :thumbup:

pchp 11-19-2019 12:24 PM

That is wonderful!

TeresaA 11-19-2019 01:13 PM

Looks like you won the war! Absolutely gorgeous!

Taughtby Grandma 02-14-2020 03:11 AM

Great placement on your colors and I like the idea of it being reversible!

granky 02-14-2020 03:56 AM

I can only repeat what others have sald before."Wow...beautiful!"

ckcowl 02-14-2020 04:55 AM

Oh my goodness! That is absolutely wonderful. I love both sides. I bet it is heavy and warm. What a wonderful way to use up lots of scraps and doing it quilt as you go was a brilliant idea. It would have been a bugger to quilt the whole quilt in a traditional way with all those seams. I Love both sides so much! What an inspiration for all of us wondering what to do with that overflowing scrap container.
