Squeeeeeeel - I love both.

What a great way to use up those scraps.

I am a scrappy person too and I love, love, love what you did with all of those scraps. I have book marked this page so I can return to it later when I run out of ideas! Tee-Hee-Hee!

You know what? Those quilts are simply stunning especially the first one!

AnnaK,
Your quilts are beautiful! I just finished 2 very scrappy log cabin quilts, forgot to take pictures before I gave them away.

The second quilt is a pattern called Hot Dish. It's from a blog called StitchinTherapy send was posted around May 2014. It is so easy to put together. My friend and I each made one and she made hers with all floral fabric, different border. Looks very different from mine and lovely as well. Thank you everyone for your nice comments!

Thank you. Love Luna moths. Wish we had them in No. CA.

Blocks are 12" finished. The little strips were cut 1 1/2" wide. The center sq. is 6" finished. I made up the pattern after seeing one like it with solid fabric pieces. Still give too many scraps!

I pieced colorful rows with white alternates, then cut them in 2 1/2" strips. I first sewed a white, 2 1/2" inner border, then the strip with squares and finished with another white border. Hope that helps.

I just take pieces out of my scrap bag and after a while if it looks like I need to brighten it up, I reach for yellow or orange or pink... I don't fuss too much with matching anything. You can't match scrap quilts, they just happen!

Love them! Lots of little scraps love the patterns im trying to use up scraps and hard to find.e pattern I like! Great job!!

I really like your scrappy quilts, they are great

These are fantastic. I love scrappy quilts as well!

Another big thumbs up, and a link for Hot Dish http://stitchintherapy.blogspot.ie/2...laces.html?m=1

Good work on both. I especially like the second one.

Thank you so much for the info. I have bookmarked the site.
Love the pattern. It should use up some of my strips.
Hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

Wow! Pretty, pretty!!!

Very inspiring. It does not look "scrappy" at all!

My favorite is the second one for sure.

Absolutely love scrap quilts and yours are real beauties. Not familiar with either pattern. Thanks for sharing these pretties.

Great use of scraps...

Both look beautiful!!

Gorgeous gorgeous quilts!

both are beautiful but I simply totatlly love the first one!

Oh, how cute are those. I love scrappies, too.

Both of your quilts are beautiful. Love scrappy quilts. So colorful.

Two great looking scrappy quilts!

Oooooh, nice!

nice quilts when I try to use up my scraps I think they multiply ha ha!!!

Those are awesome.Thanks for sharing.

Both are just fantastic!! I really love the first one. I love scrappy quilts too!

Wow, both are gorgeous quilts! I am always amazed at how the different scraps are put together to make something so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

The best way to ease into working with scraps is to limit your color palatte. Try using every blue fabric you have, plus a background. So you might have 20 different blues and 5 whites/creams. I think the old classic patterns like Log Cabin are excellent for this because the design depends on contrast between light and dark, not matching colors. Coordinating fabric lines is something that fabricmanufacturers have come up with in the last 25 years to boost fabric sales If you can break free of working with perfectly coordinating fabrics a whole new world of possibilities opens up!

Love, Love, Love what you did with all those scraps.

Both are fabulous!

They are both very fun. What a good use of scraps. Are these your designs?

Love scrappy quilts. Great use of scraps. Why waste money and not use them?

Gorgeous! I especially love the first one though; it has a very refreshing feel to it somehow.

Such a beautiful way to use up scraps! Love them both!

They are so great! Did you design them yourself?
