I too found out I like scrap quilts after participating in swaps and putting some of those pieces together. Another thing I have found is that it may not be your favorite or you may think you did not piece it well. But when it is all together and quilted, it may become one of your favorites. Scrappy quilts can be fun to do. Can't wait to see the finished projects.

be sure to check out "quiltville.com" Bonnie Hunter has a great tut on leaders and enders so you can be making your second scrap quilt while you are making something else. I have been doing leaders and enders now and I'm on my third scrap quilt of 2" squares. One is an Irish Chain that is now quilted and in my cottage in Flagstaff, AZ (summer place) and the other needs to be quilted. I think this 3rd one is going to be "patches and pinwheels".
Regarding Bonnie Hunter's website..... I also became aware of her website and leader/ender process from the Quilting Board. I am currently making these two quilts at the same time. The one with the 2" squares are my leaders/enders to the string quilt. It's going much faster than it would have otherwise!

I warn you! Scrap quilts are addicting! Can't tell you how many I've made. Although I always generated quite a few scraps on my own, many of my fellow guild members began bringing their scraps to me. They jokingly call me "The Queen of Scraps." Have fun.
