Scrappy Courthouse Steps
 

I’m sure many of you can relate … I’ve had several large Rubbermaid bins full of scraps from other projects, I have my regular stash too, but the fabric in the bins were just little scraps, mostly 1.5” - 2.5” strips. Except for the white fabric, this Courthouse Steps quilt was made entirely of those scraps, plus the back too! Plus, I have boxes of leftover bits of batting, so I pieced some of the batting together for this quilt. I’m so proud that I used materials that my husband kept saying for years to just throw away! Quilt measures 64” x 75”.

..... that's one amazing quilt!!!

Sooooo??? ........... is your DH eating his words now? ;)

Love it! Couldn't have planned it and made it better!

Great use of scrapes.

That quilt is wonderful. The White sure gives it a pop against all those dark scraps. You really made great use of a lot of scrap strips. It looks so ( cozy)

Your quilt is gorgeous, so many rich colors.

I would love to cuddle under that quilt!

Love it!!!

It is very pretty!

That is gorgeous!!!!!!!
Good for you to use up scraps. I don't have the patience for them! :)

Love the quiet colors with the sharp pop of white! Great job!!!

What a gorgeous quilt! Lovely collection of scraps, all darks!

Great use of scraps!

very pretty. you did a great job.

Stunning, your colors are so vibrant and rich. You should be very proud of it. 😍

Beautiful use of your "leftovers". I am impressed that you have scraps that blend together so well.

Wonderful scrappy quilt... I love your piano border.

Beautiful!! You did an amazing job!!!

Take a bow! You win a blue ribbon for being a Scrap Queen! Thanks for showing us your lovely quilt!

Your colors play well together. Do you keep your color family of scraps together in a tub? I have the whole color wheel in my tub...from lime green to civil war prints...I couldn't imagine how that would look. Thank you for sharing a picture Scrap Queen!

Wow. I'm not usually a fan of scrappy quilts but I love yours. That back is fantastic.

Beautiful quilt! I love scrappy quilts and this is not exception. Your courthouse steps are perfect use of these steps. Thanks for sharing.

Love that quilt..it is really beautiful on both sides.

Love, love, love your quilt. What a wonderful way to use up scraps and you did a fantastic job on it

Great quilt! I love what you did and the white just makes it pop!

Lovely rich colors! I'm sure your hubby will think twice before suggesting throwing out scraps again! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

What fun! I am always so proud when I get to use scraps but I have never come up with a quilt that size and gorgeous.
I am really envious and doggone it I think I will try another scrappy quilt. You have really inspired me. Thank you!

A delightful, lovely quilt; and others would have thrown the scraps away! I can relate. I'm working with some 1 1/2 and 2 inch strips now in 2 different quilts. I'm anxious to get them finished.

First of all, this is a terrific quilt! And good for you for using your scraps. That must be very satisfying. Well done!

Beautiful quilt! They are my colors, and I love how you put it all together. I'm a scrappy quilter, too, but never seem to use all those scraps. Great job!

Gorgeous quilt. I love it.

Very interesting pattern. I've made some courthouse steps but it's been a while. I like the way you used the white to set it off. Nice job!

Impressive, especially since you used scraps for it!

That is very much in colors like a quilt I recently made. My favorite colors. My pix just wouldn't post for me. Lovely job

That's a real beauty of a quilt. Love the warm colors. Did you have a pattern? I've not seen courthouse steps like that with the white in it. It really is beautiful.

Very nice! I love how the white makes it pop!

What a way to use up your scraps! That looks like a great reversible quilt to me. Nice job!

I also would like the pattern. It's a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful way to use those scraps! Your work is gorgeous!

I love this quit!
