I love your signature quilt.
What size are your blocks ?
Where did you get the pattern?
I would love to do one.
Thanks for posting.
Scrappy is defined by using what ever fabric you have in your scrap bag.
I Like planned scrappy select your scraps and make a quilt more pleasing to the eye.

Scrappy - the only way to go

Your quilts are WOW!
A scappy to me is taking anything and everything, and putting them together in an ordered of disordered way. A beautiful surprise everytime! Much as I love working in a an organised way with a few colours and following an intricate pattern, scrappy quilts really excite me. Sometimes I think this is what quilting is all about, making something superb out of what should have been thrown out.

Mine is scrappy, drag around quilts. Made completely out of left-overs. They won't win any awards, and often not so nice looking. But big, warm and comfortable. As all my quilts are made are given away for free to charity.
