"Scrappy All the Way"
 

A totally scrap quilt. Used up a large bag of strings, yipee. It is very busy but so many sewing memories for my family. Nursery decor, bibs, burp cloths, dresses, quilts, a little bit of everything from the fabric I have sewn from for years. This has been spoken for by DIL who recognizes so many of the fabrics in this quilt.

Great scrappy string quilt. Lucky DIL!

Rob

yes, lucky DiL!

Very good job.... Gotta love those scraps....

Love this, great job !

wow. nicely done

You're right it's very scrappy (my favorite) but the white gives eyes a place to rest and calms it down perfectly! Job well done! I'm sure your DIL will LOVE it!

love it, love it.................

Looks fantastic!

I really like the inside border. Gives it a nice break before the piano key border. Wonderful quilt.

wonderful balance of color and design, well done you!

that is a great scrappy!!!

I like it, and congrats on the use of your scraps.

Beautiful. I have been working with scraps for months. I got tired of them, Gave a bunch to my Daughter so she can use up most of them.

Great pattern for a scrappy! The addition of the white gives the eyes a place to rest. Very nice!

Wonderful scrappy...I'm sure your DIL will get years of enjoyment.

I love scraps and yours is great.

cool scrappy...luv it!

Love it - scrappy all the way.

Great use of scraps. Nicely done.

Very pretty, I'm beginning to like scrappies more and more.

What Kalama said, "Ditto".

I like it, not only for the nice job of piecing, but for the memories enclosed in the top.

Great scrappy!!!!

very colorful, great use of scraps.

Amazing the memories in scraps.

I, too, really like that inside border. I would like to see a close up of it and a little story on how and why you did that.

Mavis, The inside border is made with the half square triangles I got when I cut the corners off after snowballing the string piece units. Clear as mud for sure. This pattern is Twirling Strings. I made it with a string along group that a video blogger did on You Tube. Here is the link to the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSz4Zm35M3M

I love a good scrappy. Well done.

What a wonderful set of tutorials. I watched five of them and will watch number six when I find it. What a wonderful thing to do with those strings. It almost makes me want to create strings to do this. Thanks for pointing us to this.

Gorgeous scrappy!

Mavis, I really enjoy this lady, she has a very down to earth way about her and does a lot to encourage beginners that do not have many quilting notions, etc. She is also a good teacher

Wow! I have never seen one like that. It is so interesting to look at. Great Job!

Yes pewa, I learned a lot from her and enjoyed it.

Reminds me of the quilts that my grandmother made from the bags of out grown or worn out clothes my mom saved for her to use. Such fun looking for those pieces.

Wonderful scrappy quilt.

That's a beautiful quilt and such nice memories. Your DIL is very smart to claim this one.

Wonderful scrappy and very lucky DIL to receive such a beauty.
