This has been one of the best threads. I have been looking through the photos and see so much vibrancy and joy. You can see where quilters really poured themselves into it heart and soul. If you can stand it, here's a few more.
P.S. To everyone....your quilts are beautiful. Let's all of us keep up the good work.

ok, i am back. I am so excited about all these scrappy quilts, all wonderful. I went and took a picture of my first (WIP) scrappy quilt, used the leader and ender method. The sixteen patches were all truly a mix of scraps, the star blocks are done with fabrics from my stash. (I can't even believe I have a stash, small as it is.) I don't know how big it is going to be yet, I guess that depends on how many more star blocks I can make. I am thinking about a country type red for a border and then maybe a border of the patches. What do you think This is also the first time I am posting a picture, so let's cross our fingers.

Are you talking about my D9P w/hearts? If so here are the links. One of the other gals could not find it and after much hunting I found them. One is for doing the D9P and the other is for the the hearts.
This one is how to go about 'making' the D9P heart blocks; http://blocksnswaps.blogspot.com/200...g-9-patch.html And this one is how to make the heart blocks; http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...eart_quilt.htm The heart(s) take the most time to make, once they are done the rest of the quilt (9 patch) goes together fast. |

I have that problem, too, so have been working on (a) controlled scrappy while hoping to graduate to )b) paper bag scrappy.
I LOVE all the quilts shown here!!! Trust me once you 'free yourself of the constraints of colour coordinating, the feeling is fantastic! You get so many surprises and much less stress about which goes and what doesn't or shouldn't sit next to once another, as long as their is 'good contrast' is all that you are aiming for! Thanks for all your lovely comments to everybody, I have just enjoyed reading every one of them. I often sit and go through ALL the scrappy pictures, they are such an inspiration aren't they! Well done everyone, it cheers me up to see all of your wonderful creations when I wake up! :) :) :) |

So many have mentioned that after making scrap quilts, they still have LOTS of scraps. This is embarrassing, but here are some of my scraps. You can't see all of them because the closet goes back a couple of feet on each side. The scraps are (mostly) by color, although I do have a garbage bag or two of mixed colors. Anyone have more than this? (PS Why are so many of the pages duplicated?)
