my scrap busting project
 

I save a lot of smaller cut of pieces, and finally decided on something do to with them. After ironing and sorting, I had over 50 color groups to work with. Ended up with 99 blocks, so I made a black one. It looks fine next to the dark browns.

Was thinking of doing something more random, but I think I like this better.

The best part, I've really knocked down my scrap collection!

nicely done

Great idea to shade the blocks in groups throughout the quilt. It's different, which is nice. Well done for reducing those growing scraps. Thanks for sharing.

what a fabulous idea......

Awesome scrap buster. I like this layout much better than a random.

Love your scrappy rainbow.

Bam!!!!! Well done.

Very nice use of scraps.

good work!

Very Interesting! :)

I really like your scrap quilt and the rainbow effect. You did a great job.

Great job with all those colors! How is your shed coming along? Haven't seen pictures lately.

A terrific scrappy!! Nice use of those small pieces!

A great scrappy quilt! Good job!!

I think it looks great. Very pretty and different.

WOW you have been busy.

Beautiful use of all those unused scraps that some of us tend to throw away!

Great Idea and a beautiful quilt!

Being a bit OCD, LOL, I think this is a great scrap reducer in a more organized way. Love it. I am doing a similar type block with my selvages, as I collect not only the writing but the printed side too, and sort them by color.

I like the rainbow effect!

Really, really like this! Well done!

It is going to be beautiful. I love the way you laid it out.

Fantastic. Scraps turned into a wonderful, usable quilt. A win-win!

beautiful, keep it the way it is.

Gorgeous! Wow....

I love your scrappy quilt because it is not totally chaotic, yet displays all the surprise and color of a scrappy.

It looks great.

very nice job!!!

Love this scrap buster!!! Did you sew your scraps on a base or just sew pieces together???

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks every one for the nice comments. Now I"m trying to think of ideas for a border.

Maggie Sue - I just sewed them together. I put together smaller pieces, and then fit the larger pieces together. I experimented with some curves to see if I could do them.

I took this picture while I was putting them together.
