Your Dear Jane block is second row down, far left, gold on white. Am I correct?

Scrappy quilts are all pretty. Striking colors.

This scrappy heart quilt was one of my first quilts. Yes, I HAD to go out in a snowstorm to buy scraps to make it. :rolleyes: I hand quilted it and it's well-worn and soft!

This star-flower quilt was another early quilt, although it was many years in the making. I started out with the intention of have star blocks alternating with plain blocks. I knew I'd never finish at the rate I was working when lo' and behold my quilt magazine arrived and this was on the cover! I appliqued stems, leaves and quilted it in sections, then joined it all together. I machine quilted the heck out of it but still managed not to get the batting secured well enough. If I hold it up to the light I can see through it and see where the batting is not joined (just 2 layers of fabric).

This is one of my favorite quilts. I used 6" newspaper as a foundation. 6" because it was a convenient size to cut the newspaper and newspaper because I'd seen it on Alex Anderson's show. I used my own scraps as well as from friends at quilt retreats.

This was definitely an attempt at stash busting. I really like it, although the colors aren't looking nearly as nice here on the screen. There is no white, that's a light green. It was an easy size to cut. I didn't even make a dent in my stash!!

This is the back of the green and blue bricks quilt. Used some more of my blues. :)

Since my first stash buster didn't make a dent, I used some more of the blues for a Turning Twenty. The back of this is pieced also.

Love the "Scrappy" look--have made a few scrappy quilts that I have given away to my grands and great grands but this one I kept for me. I wrap myself in it when I take my afternoon nap and there is a chill in the air. It is so soft and makes me feel so good...

That's what it's all about, isn't it? As my son says, "Mom, you quilt the love into it."
