Scrappy, Shabby Braid quilt and others
 

I have been using up my mountains of scraps. No body knows how many scrappies I will get out 20+ years of quilting.

I used 2.5" x 7.5" strips and a 2.5" square for the center. The sashing is .75" wide.

There are still several quilts to be dug out of my mountain of scraps.

Happy with what I have done so far.
peace

Wow now these are my idea of a scrap quilt! Love them.

Very nice work! I really need to get off the computer and into my sewing room! You have inspired me. Love the clam shell log cabin.

all nicely done

beautiful quilts! you've done great, I love them

Wow, those are beautiful! You have a lovely fabric collection. :)

Great job. Love that backing for the braid, but I really LOVE your design walls. Looks like book pages. Old store display?

Oh UBE your clamshell is coming along awsome! Love it and so glad you making one.

Great scrap quilts!

Beautiful quilts. Love the backing and just love your design wall (s)

Beautiful quilts ... and that design wall storage thingy is fantastic!

Gorgeous!!!!!! and there are some interesting items lurking behind on your wall.

Pictures of those as well please.

I should have mentioned at the top of the post that I have you to thank for the Clam Shell Log Cabin pattern. I could not find any patterns for this on line and I searched a long time. You should post your pictures again. It is such a lovely quilt. It has been on my mind since you sent it to me and I am finally acting on it.

Thank you so much.

The design wall did come from a fabric store that closed many years ago. Half the store was quilting the other for dressmaking. These boards held bridal lace samples.

Your first one would be my favorite, but they are all beautiful! Can't stop looking at it :eek:

Great quilts!!!

What a great find and very useful for a quilter like you. Oh and your quilts are beautiful also! Nice work!

Awesome job ube! The braid, is it made with rectangles that are cut down after they are sewn into place?

Beautiful scrappy quilts. Love the scrappy braid, its light and ready for spring.

The first quilt Scrappy Shabby French braid is sooo lovely!!! I love the sweet fabrics and contrasting diamonds! Simple, soft and beautiful! Beautiful job!

Anna, Yes it is trimmed after the strip is completed.

You have made real beauties of your scraps!

Great use of scraps! What did you use to make your design walls? looks like the move and you have several, very interesting.

Your quilts are lovely. Scrap quilts are my favorite! I particularly like your braid - I've never seen one done in softer shades as you have used, and the center square is just perfect for it.

Beautiful. I specially like your Shabby Braid.

Your work is all so pretty!! I love them all! Thank you for the inspiration!!

some of the prettiest scrap quilts i've seen

wow/..........very pretty scrappies

Although I'm not a fan of orange, that square really sets the stage for the braid scraps...lovely and delightful. Great design wall...a lucky score for you...thanks for sharing your lovely quilts.

very lovely quilts

WHOA - BACK UP. Is your DESIGN WALL actually several "design walls" on hinges?? If so you must show us how they are hung etc. I am extremely interested in having more than one Design Wall at one time and this might be the way to go. Please share your method.

You work very well with colors - lovely quilts.

What gorgeous scrappies! My favorite is the clamshell... so beautiful! Good work.

love all 3--I really like the French braid--the background makes the orange really glow. And loving your design wall! My eyes are turning green!

Thanks for sharing. I really want to make some scrap quilts this year.

Wonderful. BrendaK

Beautiful, great job.

Beautiful quilts. I'm inspired!
