My First Scrap Quilt
 

I've been cutting leftover fabric into 2.5 inch squares ever since I started quilting four years ago. I finally made a scrappy quilt out of them. The solid blocks gave me an opportunity to practice some free-motion quilting. When I made the quilt design for the solid blocks, I was thinking flowers. But the finished product reminds me more of M&Ms scattered all over the quilt! :D No matter... I wanted a quilt to use on my bed, and I finally have one that I don't want to hang on the wall.

Nice work. The quilting is lovely.

you used tons of colours


nice

Love the cow peaking through :). Great job

I really like the effect without a border...nice planning on color placement... thank you for sharing

It is a perfect everyday Quilt. You did a great job. Your quilting turned out nicely.

Your quilt looks so wonderful, and I think your fmq of the solid colors is right on! I looked at the pictures before reading you comments and I saw the quilting as flowers. Maybe you are just craving m&ms after all this wonderful work.

Very nice. I love scrap quilts.

Ditto. I also looked at the pictures before reading all of the text. I also recognized the quilting as being flowers right away. I stared at your beautiful matching of seams in your quilt. Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing.

You did really well with the color/fabric placement. Good job.

What a beautiful quilt, you used the perfect way to lay that out it's gorgeous !

That is lovely - I see you always cut your scraps as you go - wish I had done that am trying to work my way through all mine!!!!!

Love it! Beautiful quilt.

Another lovely scrappy.

Beautiful, all points matching and your FMQ is gorgeous!

Oh I like it. I saw flowers too. Scrappy's are so fun and you did a great job with yours.

Well done! It reminds me of being a kid and opening a new paintbox! I love that it is super scrappy but also has a very definite colour way. And the eye can rest on it. Just lovely, and your quilting is great too :-)

love scrap quilt yours is very nice!!!!

I love it! Scrappys are my favorite.

nicely done

Very nice quilt. You did a great job

I see flowers not M&Ms. I like how you laid out your solid colors.

Your scrappy is beautiful and exciting and wonderfully colorful!

That came out quite nice. Like how you mixed color in the bigger blocks. Good idea.

So adorable, love all the colours!

Sometimes I get carried away thinking that the more elaborate the pattern the better the finished quilt will be, but yours shows me that even a simple pattern can result in a beautiful quilt. Thanks so much for sharing.

I really like the different back ground colors you used it adds interest...

Nice work, great job

I love scrappies! Love the placement of the single blocks with the nine patch. Love the all the colors!
