I like them all. Great use of your leftover fabrics.

I cracked up when I read you used adding machine paper! I'm a bookkeeper and have gone through at least 4 rolls of tape in the last month and could have saved it to use at home. I keep thinking how many trees I have thrown away over the years. :lol: Always thought there should be another purpose for it. I will keep this in mind.

Leslie you sounded like me in your post. I keep reading and reading when I ought too get busy. I am afraid I will miss something important.

Terrific examples of string piecing- I agree with whoever said that you kept it calm and attractive. The use of the neutrals in between helps, I think. Love em all!

Dito on that!! It's on my shortlist, this beauty :)
Thanks for showing!

That is beautiful! I love using all of my left overs and you gave me some new ideas. I get great joy at finding ways to use every little piece. I even use the scraps that my friends want to toss!
I hope you wont mind but I printed your photos to share.

I am flattered and hope you will do some and then share pics..love to see!

Nice!

love em all..especially the curtains..

What a great idea. I love all your quilts. Could I posibly talk you into doing a tute of how you did the heart?

these are so pretty...what a great idea. I found some old register tape at work that we no longer use...

Those are fantastic!

What fabulous scrap use! I really like the first one and the pinwheels.

They are just amazing

Beautiful, scraps are my favorites.

Can you please explain what plain paper piecing is ? I love your quilts,etc pab

Gorgeous.

Sue! You have done a lot of quilting for sure!!!!

What a beautiful variety of quilts. Great job. Will have to try that with some of my scraps.

WOW!!! That's the first thing and the only thing that came out of my mouth........lol I love those and I'm one that usually doesn't care for scrappies but they are great!!! I will definitely use some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

love them....

You really inspire me with these - beautiful job! :)

Wow, good job on everything !

Hearts butterflys neat neat neat !!! like all of them

Very pretty quilts, and so unique. I love the way you trimmed the valance with the colorful strips.

I love it! I may borrow you valence idea! What is the pattern name for the first one? Where did you get it?

What a super idea, my Patchwork class Ladies would love this idea, where did you get the patterns for those gorgeous quilts please?

Great way to use bits and pieces. I would never have thought to use them on curtains too. Very creative.

Your scrap bin must be empty! Your projects are all great. I NEED TO DO THIS with all my scraps! Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

I am a big fan of string piecing and kudos on all the wonderful templates & blocks you used to make your creations. I love it when I see "one of a kind" quilts that no one else can duplicate.
Keep up the wonderful mosaic style. Moosegirl

yeah, I don't get it either.....I kind of understand the paper keeping the material 'in check' so it doesn't shift all over however, I don't get why you would fold the paper and do you tear it off after you're done stitching? I guess I need more info.....

Great projects!! Love the scraps!

Scrappy my very favorite. Great job :thumbup:

Folding the paper helps break down the molecules that hold the paper together, making it easier to tear the papers off.
The best paper to use is barely heavier than tissue paper - - or, you can replace the paper with lightweight fabric (old worn out sheets or ...), trace the pattern and stitch as usual, but do not take the fabric out.
Most people do not take the paper off their blocks until they are ready to stitch them into the quilt. <wave>

If memory serves, the first one is sort of a Kansas Dug out ..
if you look closely, you will see that the white parts are actually triangles sewn on the sides of the pieced strips, then the whole thing is squared .... then, turn the blocks this way and that and you don't have all the white in one square.

how cool is this??? Here is the technique I am talking about, and I found it right here on the Quilting Board - - we are just soooo lucky! <wave>

The patterns appear to be basic shapes/blocks - - the variable is the the string pieced strips were placed in strategic places, where others might just use another piece of fabric.

this link will show you the tutorial that goes with these quilts <wave>

Well I made this today in just an hour or so, it will become a Project Linus quilt with some bright sashing and cornerstones added.

Thank you so much for the tip as using the till roll gives a really super usable measurement.
