I love scrappy quilts!! They always remind me of the sacrifices the older generations made. They often had to use worn out clothes, feed sacks, blankets for batting, etc. Money was not there and they were the epitome of making something wonderful from nothing...whether it was quilts, clothes, or food :) I have 6 quilts of my great-grandmother's and great aunts....they were poor, the quilts are all scrappy, and I love them dearly :)

Everyone--thanks for so many more ideas! I never knew scrappy quilts could be so stunning! Thanks! Blessings, MaryAnna |
