This poor quilt looks so sad compared to the beautiful quilts that are posted on the board.

But I guess I am just a scrappy kind of gal...

This was done using the leftover material from the braid quilt I posted and a few other fabrics thrown in...

It was actually going to be the backing for my braid quilt but the more blocks I made the more I felt it just needed to be a different quilt all together. (my daughter even mentioned that... She doesn't usually make comments one way or another) I was amazed she thought of it too...

Great job! I love scrappy quilts. What a wonderful way to use up all those odds 'n' ends left from other quilts.

jenny Line 04-04-2011 01:36 PM

I like it!

Stacey 04-04-2011 01:37 PM

And this "sad" quilt is just as warm,cozy and comforting as those other quilts. Maybe even more so because it is the quintessential scrappy quilt. I love it.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, encouragement and comments. After I decided to make this one as a quilt top. I told my daughter, now she and my son can both have one, when I am gone... lol

Scrappy quilts are my favorite!

earthwalker 04-04-2011 08:41 PM

That is the least sad looking quilt I've ever seen. It is original, colourful, scrappy and beautiful.

ScrapQuilter 04-04-2011 08:42 PM

Looks like a scrap happy quilt to me.

Carol,

You did a wonderful job. I love those blues, greens, and beige colors. Great scrappy!

Colorful Quilter 04-04-2011 09:58 PM

There is nothing SAD about....LOVE this quilt

SueDor 04-05-2011 02:22 AM

I like scrappy quilts!

CoventryUK 04-05-2011 02:28 AM

Sad??? Not at all!! This is what quilting is all about!!!! Using up whatever is to hand!!! Love it for what it is!! Be proud you are continuing a tradition!!!

Suzi 04-05-2011 03:26 AM

And this tradition will never die! Makes you feel like a frontier woman using bits of this 'n that to construct something that will keep her family warm and comfy when those blizzards hit. Great scrappy from one who loves them!

mimom 04-05-2011 04:13 AM

thats cool

mimom 04-05-2011 04:15 AM

you should name that quilt PRIDE.

Shelbie 04-05-2011 04:26 AM

This is my kind of quilt and the type that I make most often. They are bright, cheerful and provide a warm hug. Best of all these scrappy quilts often end up costing me very little as they are made up of "here you are's" gifts of fabric odds and ends from other quilters or families cleaning out grandma's sewing closet. These are the perfect quilts to share with others!

Homespun 04-05-2011 04:33 AM

It's great.

Stitcherbee09 04-05-2011 04:39 AM

Love it, I love scrappy !!!

dolores 04-05-2011 04:43 AM

I love scrappy quilts too. That looks great
