So inspiring to see so many scraps turned to beauty. Here are 3 of my scrap quilts. One I made for my husband's 50th BD, the string quilt for my couch and the tumbler block for the children's hospital project.

Wow! This has been more fun than a trip to a quilt museum! I love all these scrappy quilts.
Makes me think of our prairie fore-mothers and their lives long ago.
I especially enjoyed the picture with the bare feet, that's me all over! Can NOT sew with shoes on! hahaha

Here are the instructions. It's basically cut 2 1/2 inch strips of both light and dark.
Then cut them into 2 1/2 inch squares and 4 1/2 inch bars.
Sew a light to a dark, and dark to light, over and over.
Then sew them into units, using both light and dark.
It's super easy, fast and fun.[/quote]
Thanks for sharing, can't wait to get started

It is the Star Struck pattern by Bonnie Hunter found here.

I am also working on a Star Struck quilt. I work on it when I feel like piecing but not currently working on anything.
