I would like to join and make a scrappy quilt..I love the small tumbler block and the apple core..I recently finished a tumbler quilt, twin size, and no piece was used more than one time...It was a lot of fun to make..Are ther specific rules on size or pattern ??

What is a confetti quilt? I would love to have pictures. I am going to start a scrappy quilt after 1st of year. Too many irons in the fire to do anything new. I probably have several (5) tubs of scraps. Can't have to many.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Mile a minute is great for scraps----I am down to two totes of scraps as soon as I finish cutting the current stack. I am determined to get them into usable form before winter is over this year! That way, I can quickly do a project for a gift.
I do not know what a confetti quilt is, either....

He will never finish measuring and catlogueing the scraps. Then we will never have the pleasure of looking at one of his quilts again ...
My 'scraps' fit in one shoe box.
After messing up my first quilt (using a 'recipe' of the series "Quilt in Three Hours"), I keep on doing 'learning blocks'. Someday, I will have to cut into this pristine fabric in my stash - if it is just to generate some more scraps...

I have boxes of scraps my late mother saved from clothes she made us when we were kids. She meant to make them into quilts but years went by & when she died 3 years ago they weren't done. So, I've taken on the project...1 for me & each of my 2 brothers. I am overwelmed with what to do & how to start. So many different fabrics, colors, sizes of scraps. Where do I even begin?

Sounds like the best way to reduce the stash! I'm game to try to make the new mystery quilt that way! (http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-73563-1.htm)
