I like all the variety in your quilts. The one that's second from the bottom in your first post--what's that pattern? I think I might try that one. Or at least put it on the Someday Maybe list:)

Hi zozee, if you are asking me about my post, the second from the bottom with the owls is the pattern Zig Zag Zoom and is free online. I had to change it up some, lol, can't seem to follow a pattern without alterations. Mine was a little more tricky as I used squares for the joining sections so had to make the pieces fit the measurements needed. I think in the original pattern they used strips of fabric which would be a lot simpler.

finally got this one to floppy stage - I started it in April.

These are all the "scrappy" quilt tops assembled this spring

These two are in progress, but all the peices are ready. The string quilt is in rows that need to be sewn together.
They are both pictures of only a part of the quilt. Both will end up around queen size.

This one pretty much used up my batik scraps - though I did have to buy a layer cake as I ran out of a few colors.

I still have a few totes of 1.5" and 2.5" strips, and one of triangles, but I sort of sick of scrappy quilts right now.


Wow, those are great. What's the pattern of the one on the long arm? It looks intriguing.

Do you create a pattern, then sew to it? Or have some sort of intermediate step? I tend to sew my strips together until I get tired of sewing, then press and figure out later what to do with them. Or if I get a bunch of squares, I'll sew 4 patches for awhile.

Love this scrappy! Is this your own design or a pattern? Looks like a fun top to put together. Thanks for posting.

Very pretty, Macybaby!

Macybaby, I love your quilts. My favorite looks like an Arkansas Crossroads pattern only very scrappy and perhaps not the 9P centers. Is this your own design and could I copy it? Great job on all your scrappy quilts!!

Macybaby I love your quilt posted in #203. Do you have a pattern? Another one added to my wish list. By the way I love all the others too.

Charity - the one on the LA is Snake River, it's a modified log cabin design. None of these are my own design - mostly I find pictures of something I like and then figure out how to make it. Except the Sylvia's Bridal sampler (last one pictured)- it's one thing to figure out one block that is used 50 times, but not figuring out 50 blocks that are used one time!

Happylab, I did not purchase a pattern for that one, but it's real simple as it's only two 3.5" blocks (unfinished). I used a row of 3.5" blocks to break it up a bit.

The best part of going scrappy, you don't need to know the yardage - and often that is the hardest thing to figure out without a pattern that tells you what you need.

Here is a scrappy I made earlier this year it's from Joan Ford's book on scrap quilting. I think it's called sugar and spice. It's baby quilt size.
