They can also be called crumb quilts....but they are always so friendly...probably my favorite quilt and when you don't feel like doing fussy quilting the can just be the answer..Happy Quilting:thumbup:

What a wonderful idea of using big skirts for fabric. I haunt Goodwill for fabric too, and it never occurred to me to look at the clothing. I can't wait to see how your finished quilt comes out. Have fun!

sounds like lots of fun. I love scrappy quilts.

Maria C 11-07-2011 09:17 AM

If you keep a pic of your favorite scrappy you want to make in front of you, you will stay more focused and less apt to run off on another idea. Hope that works for you! I think if you are passionate of what you want to make, nothing else you see will suit you until your scrappy is done! Best of luck to you with your projects!

This pic is appealing to me and right up my alley! What fun that will be diving into that batch of squares and creating something extraordinary! Have fun with it! Oh, be sure and post pics when you're done! We'd love to see it!

I love scrappies and look forward to seeing yours,

stitcherlady 11-07-2011 10:46 AM

This is truly a scrap quilt the way your are collecting and reusing fabrics. That is fabulous. I love to make scrap quilts. I will save scraps that others would throw away. I have been known to pull fabric out of the trash. I call these quilts my "trash quilts", but to me they are a treasure. I, however, use all my quilts and enjoy them. The only time I would have a tough time using them is if they were all hand appliqued/quilted, then I would have to use them a little more sparingly.

Looking forward to seeing what you will create with those!

I have done the same thing with scraps, 2 1/2" squares. I Have probably 20 random rows together. It is like a trip down memory land whenever I work on it. Someday... I thought this would use up my scraps. As I look at it not it could be rather long. maybe a football field if I use all my scraps. lol

running1 11-07-2011 11:02 AM

Looks like SOOOO much fun!! Can't wait to see finished product... and thanks for the "mixing-it-up" tip, too!!

quiltymom 11-07-2011 11:05 AM

Scrappys are my favorite

pittsburgpam 11-07-2011 11:11 AM

I love scrappy quilts!!! Do you know what you're going to do with them? I have a basket under a table that I throw scraps into and every once in awhile I stack them in the Accucut and make squares out of them.

QUILTNMO 11-07-2011 11:19 AM

love scrappy cant wait to see what you do have fun

Evie 11-07-2011 11:23 AM

I've also been haunting Goodwills lately. Last week I picked up five "big" skirts and after washing, pressing and cutting into pieces (no squares yet!), wound up with about Six yards of fabric for $5.00! I love the tiered, batik skirts made in the Far East -- three or four coordinating fabrics, at least a quarter yard each. Awesome!

Rumbols 11-07-2011 11:23 AM

What an awesome idea regarding the cooler. Now I know what to do with the one I have. Can't wait to see what your scrappy quilt will look like. Bet it will be awesome. Thanks for the tip.

Looks like a lot of nice fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

JJean 11-07-2011 12:14 PM

I pretty much only make scrappy quilts. They are fun. I would get so bored with just 2 or 3 fabrics. Enjoy!

ann clare 11-07-2011 12:16 PM

WOW Lovely fabric

leatheflea 11-07-2011 12:28 PM

Thats how I made one earlier in the year, and I made myself use whatever I picked up, no looking as I was choosing a fabric. Talking about flying blind! But It turned out really well. Good luck with your quilt! Cant wait to see what you come up with, I love scrappy!

rootyr 11-07-2011 12:30 PM

can't wait to see the end results! I love scrappies myself! Not sure I want to cut 2.5" squares, a bit small for me but I will wait and see what you produce. Love your bin of scraps!

Marilynsue 11-07-2011 04:37 PM

The dryer......what a wonderful idea for mixing your fabrics. Bet I'm gonna copy that one! Thanks.
