Default Scrappy quilt

I'm trying to use some of my scraps up, but it does not even look like I used any. They just keep multiplying in the totes..I don't know what I am doing wrong.. hehe

This is the largest quilt that I have ever quilted on my DSM it is 120x129, I just kept making log cabin blocks till I thought that this is enough! Then I used some of the smaller scraps for the border, I used a paper roll, that was once used on a adding machine that broke a long time ago but I still had the paper roll, so I just sew the pieces of fabric to the paper and then pulled the paper off. This was kind of fun to do as you can use any width of fabric and it look good, and sewed up really fast.

I just did a scroll design some big and some smaller, but I got the job done.. I'm still learning FMQ and this is why I just did a all over design. Someday I want to try my hand at feathers but I need more practice before I try that on a quilt.
I kind of got tired of quilting all these scroll over and over and was so glad that I finally finished it..Thanks for looking..
