Funny thing is I never liked scraps. Than one day I started a string quilt and after that I was hooked for sure, now I love to do different scrap quilts.

I did now know what a scrappy quilt till now. I like them. Had a lady from church get some fabric from me for a postage stamp quilt. It was a bunch of different ladies bring the squares.

Thanks so much. There are so many I'd like to make, just not enough hours in the day.

Love the scrappy quilts. Can remember my Granny making those and we cousins would sit around and "spot" our dress, skirt or nightgown pieces. Both are pretty.

wolflady 08-01-2011 07:49 AM

Love both of them.

Okay! I am inspired and will start making blocks for a postage stamp. I have a whole bin of small scraps! Got to get moving on it.

DianneK 08-01-2011 08:00 AM

Like the tumbler block, but the postage stamp - it's pretty, but I would never have the patience to sew 2" squares.

#1piecemaker 08-01-2011 12:01 PM

You did good!! Nice work! Love the postage stamp quilt.

Pretty. I have a top made by both of the patterns that are ready

Love, love, love postage stamp quilts! Thanks for sharing.

The Quiet Quilter 08-01-2011 04:39 PM

I like both of them. The
colors are so bright and
happy. I'm not sure I could
be patient enough to do the
postage stamp quilt. LOL
Nice work! Hugs, Sharon

I love them both but I have to say my favorite is the postage stamp. Thanks for sharing. :)

QM 08-01-2011 05:15 PM

I like both of these quilts.

I make lots of scrappy quilts, but still had to give away 12 trash bags of scraps to complete our move to smaller quarters. Painful!!

Cottontop 08-01-2011 05:26 PM

WhooooHa! Both are great! Fav is postage stamp.

nannyrick 08-01-2011 05:27 PM

How big do the scraps have to be for the tumbler?
