Thank you ladies for the wonderful praise.

The chicken pattern is from Fatcat patterns.com, she has lots of lovely(fun) patterns.

The pattern for the blue and gray one is from Bonnie Hunter's book STRING FLING Scrappy Happy and loving it! the pattern name is Jamestown Landing. There are also 12 others, and I like all of them but one.

Thanks for the info... I am going to put this on my quilting shopping list.

Lori, if you like scrappy, you'll love Bonnie Hunter's patterns. She has a way with scraps that I find almost magical ...

Now that I have spent most of my morning looking...There are way too many amazing quilts to comment on just a few so I will say that it is amazing that these are made from SCRAPS and not patterns with all the colors chosen and limited. They are wonderful and confirm my choice of scrappies for overall best quilts, IMHO!

Quiltkrazy, I am in love with the first two quilts. The chickens are adorable, but those others ... WOW!

Thanks Krystyna. I really had fun making every one of them. I had never made one like the blue and gray one, it is totally from scraps, no plan of colors other than a light and dark pattern, in some places there are not enough definition, because I didn't realize the big need for contrast, but I really like the way it looks, and I am sure my Nephew will love it.

Your quilts are fabulous! Love the Jacobs Ladder - - - it's on my to-do list. The second one looks like a Bonnie Hunter quilt. If not, what pattern is it? Beautifully done. How many quarter square triangles are in there??? A bazillion maybe??

Well done.

Jane

Thanks Jane.

Not a Jacob.s ladder, it's a jewel box quilt, made from Eleanor Burn's book. The blue and gray took 840 hsts, I needed to pay a little more attention in the contrast, though. It is a Bonnie Hunter, from her book STRING FLING, the pattern is Jamestown Landing. It is fantastic to see it coming together, I definitely this pattern.

Great job all! I am inspired.

That should say: I definitely recommend this pattern.

Scrappy Backing
 

Here is the scrappy back I've been working on. It took 676 five inch squares and will go with a Civil War Autograph variation quilt top. I hope to be able to afford to have it quilted by the end of the year.

DDM- that's pretty enough to be the front.

I agree kk. A great placement of neutral fabrics.

Scrappy Many Trips Around the World
 

Here is my latest finish, Many Trips Around the World, a well-known Bonnie Hunter pattern. This pic really doesn't do it justice. The quilt is 98 x 98 and according to my calculations used 14.65 yards of fabric. I bought a wide back for it -- didn't have the patience to piece the backing for it -- but the top is all from stash.

Re: #2054

That is a beautiful quilt. I've never done a trip around the world, but this makes me want to try.

I love scrappys they are as close to old time quilting where it was use up everything. With todays economy thye make sense.....

Love them all, especially the bright colors.

Awesome, AWESOME quilts! I have been bitten by the scrappy bug.

I moved recently and took the time to organize my fabrics and scraps in the new place. Made me realize that everything that I have made so far has been a planned quilt. Which left me with lots of scraps that I planned to use "sometime in the future." Well, that future has evolved into NOW.

Found Bonnie Hunter, and recently found this thread. There's no turning back... :D

The red and white star is a wall hanging for my kitchen. The triangles are my leaders and enders, all from fabric scraps from previous projects, and are on my design wall, growing as I work on others. Controlled scrappy, but scrappy. I'm trying... will take a while to get completely scrappy and lose all control.

Just thought I'd share so far... THANK YOU all for showing your wonderful quilts. I am SO inspired! :)

Very nice. I especially like the star--but, I'm partial to red! :)

I like your controlled scrappy Susan. I, for one, am another that prefers controlled scrappy. I've seen others state they do too, so you are in good company either way.

I love the string quilt with the black diamond centers. Did you applique the black center onto the finished block?

Please refer to member name and/or post number when replying. :) We all would like to know what quilt you are responding too so we can oh and awe also. :)

Kat, if you mean the one by meemersmom in post #158, that's one I have been admiring, too. I think she said (or possibly I deduced) that the string blocks are made and then assembled with black squares using the 10-minute block method.

Is there a way to navigate this forum by the post number? For example, I wanted to take a look at the quilt y'all are taking about in post # 158, is there a quicker way to find it than by hopscotching back through the pages?

And now that I've taken a look at that quilt, I recognize the quilt block. It's a paper-pieced block from Quilter's Cache called "Michigan."

I have a few more scrappy quilts to add to this thread. I piece quite a few of my quilts with a treadle sewing machine, they are quiet and I can sew after everyone has gone to bed and no motor to make noise. :thumbup:
The first quilt is Cartwheels from Moda Bake Shop, #2 is Smokey Mountain Stars a free Bonnie K. Hunter pattern, #3 is Star of Destiny by Donna Lynn Thomas(it won honorable mention at my guild's show this year). #4 is a Log Cabin also entered in this year's guild show, it didn't win any ribbons; however the quilt judge was just amazed at the variety of fabrics, over 200. All but the #3 are charity quilts, for either in-need kids or wounded soldiers.

Maggiemae, I like your scrappy quilt made with dryer sheets.

Sharon; Love your quilts. They are all beautiful especially the log cabin.

Are you referring to this one by Lsew2212? If so, yes, it's very pretty.

It's strip/string pieced starting with a black strip in the center diagonally and adding various colored strips on each side, building out the square to whatever size you've chosen. Hope that helps - - -
