Love this thread and all those scrappy quilts! So I thought I would add my scrappy baby quilts. They should definitely qualify as "scrappy" - there was absolutely no yardage involved (other than the green polka dot fabric on the last two) but scraps from old shirts, beddings etc.

This was actually my really first quilt I made about 5 years ago. There's a hand quilted wreath on the middle square which isn't shown well by this picture.

Other than these baby quilts, I also made two big scrappy quilts:

The light yellow fabric used between the flowers is an old bed-sheet a friend gave me.

The stars are all made from scraps. I did use yardage for the sashing triangles and the borders of the last one, though.

Zozee, my Strip Twist came out at 43" x 54", because of the borders I added. You can make bigger by adding more blocks and rows... the diamond patterning is an optical illusion. The blocks are actually the mitered squares that make up the quilt, so it's really easy to make it bigger or smaller. I was going for a lap quilt size which is what my charity group donates to hospitals. This one will be donated.
