Planning new quilt from old scraps
 

I made this quilt back in 2008 and still have all the scraps. This quilt started out as an Irish Chain and ended up as a Trip Around the World. There is lots of fabric left over:

Here are the scraps

and what I am planning

What I had from the first attempt

After sorting and confirming there is enough fabric I will be altering these blocks to enhance a single Irish Chain going through the alternating blocks.

This is how I spend my time!

That looks fabulous!

Thanks for sharing your technique; it is most helpful to see how you do it. Fabulous quilts .... the one from scraps is the best.

nice fabrics

looks good so far

Nice looking quilt plan!

Keep us posted as you progress. I love to see the different steps to a finished quilt:)

Great use of the scraps. It will be as fabulous as the first one was.

You are so clever, I love your new plan, go for it.

I am saving all my scraps for future projects. Great quilts.

looks great so far !!!!

Coming along great.

Awesome!!!!

I just love scrappy quilts.

That is going to be wonderful.

great stash buster

both are very nice quilts - you did a good job in using up scraps - wish I had your talent.

What a great idea to use left over fabric.

Time well spent and either way will look good.

What a neat quilt this is going to be. Nice planning! I love the whole idea of using up these wonderful scraps.

You have the beginning of another very nice quilt!

Love, love, love it!

Those moose are awful cute. Love getting a whole new quilt from scraps.

good plan.... I had that moose print... it seemed to keep multiplying the more I used it seemed the more there was left

That will be so pretty when finished. It gives me an idea for a quilt for my DGS.

Oh that is going to be so pretty .... can't wait to see the finished product.

Great ideas...the fun part of quilting!!!

that looks very good.

OH MY!!!! how nice... it never ceases to amaze me how different things can look in a different layout!!!

I cannot think of a better way to spend your time.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I love it. Lodge look is my favorite. This looks to nice.

Great use of scraps......... guess you could say it's a free quilt.

That is great fabric....

WOW they both are beautiful! You are so talented!!

When I have little bits of scraps left over from projects, I love to make matching coasters, or even pillow cases, if fabric allows. So much you can do with scraps. Fun fun fun.

Beautiful. I am also a moose lover!

I really like that "audition". It looks great

this is going to be great when its done! I see this is 3 weeks old? can't wait to see how far you are now :)
