SO... I Started a Scrappy LOL
 

This Was My Plan To Finaly Use the Fabric in My 'Scrap Basket'. IT was Very Very FULL! I thought if I make Say 24 blocks that would make a Good size 'Dent' Silly ME!
As you Can tell from the Picture Not even Close to a Dent. As a matter fact I think ITS Growing Like the 'Blob' in that old Movie!LOL I think I could Sew for a Year and IT will Still Be there! Its a Magic Fabric Basket. HELP! I'm posting 2 Pic's one of My hall with the 'BLOB' and the Blocks so far. :)

Holy Moley is your basket full. I thought that mine was bad but you have me beat. I just have small pieces. Your quilt is going to be great, can't wait to see it finished.Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

I love your scrap basket and your blocks. It looks like fun to just dive in there and grab some scraps. I make string blocks with my scraps and find it very addictive. There is a soothing quality to just grabbing and sewing.

Oh MY!!! Looks like you have a lot of work to do.

Oh there are so many beautiful potential quilts in that collection....what fun:). Love the blocks you have done....keep us posted, you know how we love pics. Happy scrapping!

You are going to have a great quilt when it is finished! It looks like you have enough scraps to make several!

miss lori what have you done!!??? where are you in there with all those scraps??? the blocks look great! keep making them! i love your colors and they will be fantastic all put together! make a scrappy double irish chain????

O my, you do have a ton of scraps, wish I had even a portion of that kind of scraps I'd be in hog heaven.
Nice Blocks your quilt well be so so pretty!!!

I know what you mean about the "blob" I have one growing too! I really like your blocks, that is going to be an awesome quilt.

Great start on the first of many (smiley face) scrap quilts. I like the different shapes you used on the colorful blocks. I have tamed my scraps by cutting blocks and strips. Rather ho-hum as contrasted with your blocks showing such movement. Quilt On!

LOL...Every time I use some my scraps I end up with more. I had one large tote and said that was all I was alloying myself...then there was two....and now I've a box and a basket I've added to the pile. So you're right It multiplies!

I love scrappy quilts. Can't wait to see how they turn out. Notice I said" They" LOL

So far so good! Keep on keeping on! Then when you're done, I'll send you my baskets:D

Looks good so far! I have to send my scraps to a new home or I too would be overrun with scraps! Your quilt will look great!

You do know that those scraps multiply when left alone in a sewing room don't you. LOL I have lots and lots and love them all! I love making scrappy squares. I make a lot of potholders out of mine. I have a quilt top done but haven't started the quilting process yet.

You have barely touched them, keep going. I love the ones you have done so far.

What a great scrap basket. My Mom loves to come to my house and "play" in my scrap basket.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose scrap basket looks such a jumble!!! I start to sort it out and then loose the will so they all end up getting tossed back in - but having seen yours I know I can do it and try to make some blocks that look as good as yours so keep us posted with your quilt progress

My guess is that you have enough scraps for 5-6 scrappy quilts if all that I saw were the scraps you can use. So, never fear, it feels like they multiply when you aren't looking!

You have to start somewhere and it looks like I can see some great blocks coming out of that scrap basket. Well done

oh yea..looks like my sewing area

Good reminder..I just bought some more fabric for a quilt, but I think I will first make up a bunch of scrappy string blocks first. To to use up some of my scraps. I have been making hook rugs, which has really helped alot. May try making another one of those to.

Just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing. My scraps are the same. LOL
Have a Blessed day

I see a lot of scrap quilts coming out of that basket. Your blocks are very colorful, going to be a great quilt

oh how I love playing with scraps.I have had some of the same fabrics as you.

Have fun.
I think you will be doing more then one scrappy quilt

Thanks for sharing! You've made me feel better about my sewing room. It looks like a work in process too and I actually am working on a quilt! Love your sewing machine!!

Your scrap quilt is going to be fun and beautiful.
I know what you mean about them growing like the "Blob". I have 12 drawers that are 12" x 12" x 7" of larger scraps sorted by color, 2 shopping bags of odd strips (one light, one dark), 2 blanket bags of smaller pieces ( one light, one dark). I have made 3 queen size tops and have 3 more in the works of scrap quilt and have barely made a dent. Oh, I forgot the box of hst's that I use for beginners and enders.

I know from where you speak.
I have that problem too. Yet I buy more fabric.
I also have the blob in my cupboard..It seems to me that the blob keeps attacking the coffee mugs. I haven't bought a mug in more years then I can remember and yet they keep coming..lol

Im with you, Honey! I have three huge totes of scraps!! my husband said if I buy anyomre materail before I empty at least one of them he's gonna have a stroke! Poor dear, I alerted his doctor! LOL!

i love your mess i love to piece scrap quilts 2 i no you are haveing fun get it up mary

Great start.. Looks wonderful so far... Id be in scrap heaven if i had that scrap basket !!!!

Looks like a great start, post a picture when you have it put together.

Very nice blocks , Yes scraps do seem to grow.

I know what you mean about the scraps multiplying! I started quilting in 2005 or 06 and now have 14 plastic tubs (not the big ones, but middle size) of scraps separated by color. Thankfully, I love making scrappy quilts. Will by watching for your finished product. Going to look great.

You need to be an athlete to get over your sewing bench to get to your machine:)
I love your scrappy blocks and can't wait to see what you do with them. Happy Scraping!!

I have been working on a box of scraps all summer, and it still doesn't shrink. I do believe that it multiplies at night.

Your blocks are such fun! I have bins of scraps and no matter how hard I try they just won't go away. Maybe because I won't let them. I make scrappy quilts but the pile keeps growning. I think I have scrap fairies . Hooray for scraps!

looks like you having fun!!!

What bright fabrics in your scrappy, will be very cheery and pretty.
