Gorgeous!!! :thumbup: :-D :thumbup:

LOVE THEM !!

The finished project: http://inlinethumb51.webshots.com/45...425x425Q85.jpg

I think I will be using them more for borders in the future tho' as making this quilt made even more scraps :XD:

Wow, now that is thinking out of the box!!! Great inspiration.

And, there you have the wonders of scraps!
Like in the Old Testament - - the widow who went through a famine with a blessed jar of oil and cup of flour - - never more, but never less ... three months ago, I figured they breed or something when exposed to fresh air, but Miss Bonnie mentioned the flour and oil in her last mystery, and frankly, it just makes more sense <g> ... <wave>

Love the curtain idea. Really need to incorporate something like this in my new (to me) "country style" home

Sue Fish-
Do you mind explaining how you did the block for the first quilt you posted? I have some strips that I'd like to try that with. It's really striking.

Love them all. Each is nicer than the last. And curtains! How clever!

Very nice ideas and work !

I used your idea to make a piano key border for a quilt for my sister. I sewed my piece onto fabric instead of paper and sewed the whole thing to the quilt. It used up scraps and she loved it.

Great ones!! Love them all!

Sue just beautiful, wonderful job and thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Beautiful job. great work.

So very pretty, Sue. I have some plain curtains in my guest room that need dressing up. This will do the trick. Thanks for showing us how to do it.

These are all lovely, and they are terrific uses of scraps or leftovers. Well done!

Wow, wonderfully creative use of scraps!

Very nice...love the hearts.

I love your quilts! Where do you get adding machine paper these days?

super great scrap quilts!!

The valance is my favorite--so pretty!

Love your quilts but the valance is so lovely.

I love what you did, and using the adding machine paper. That is such a pretty valance too. Great work!!! :)

very nice!

I love them and the valance is such a great idea!

Terrific scrappies!

Really like your creativity in the curtains. Quilts too.

They are all lovely, but i think i like the third one best. :)

I love them all.

Awesome! Love them all. I like making string blocks, so many ways to use them.

What is the best way to remove the paper?

WOW looks like you use your scraps as you go along. Good job.

love them all esp the valence

heres how I remove....first make your sewing stitch small...1.8 or less, then when time to remove - the paper is so perforated from those small stitches it practically falls out, but I use the point of a T-pin, corsage pin, ripper or stiletto- whichever is handiest- to gently run across those stitches (on backside) to break any paper that is still together....and just sit and remove...with trashcan at your feet!

They are all very pretty!

Ditto. Neat way to use the scraps. You sure have been busy. BrendaK

Awesome! I love the swag. I have seen sliding door board mounted valances before that were quilted. The affect was like stained glass. All of your quilts are interesting.

Our guild had a project to get rid of everyone's scraps. So, we made the scraps for quilts then made blocks. Brought the blocks to guild meetings and sew days and made the quilts.
The quilts were mad and given to charties in town and individuals needed help with bedding A total of 15 quilts were made, January -May 2016

I like the pinwheels and the butterflies the best, and they are all wonderful, nice job.

I like the pinwheels, and the butterflies the best, and all of them are wonderful.

They look sew good! I've made a few of these using old cut up phone book pages, which work well too.
