Love the quilt! Funny that this should come across my computer this morning as I awoke thinking about my next quilt (best time for me to design and plan is first thing in the am). I'm planning on making a Sudoko quilt from my bigger pieces of scraps - a flower section, a homespun section, a 1930's section, a batik section, etc. Should be fun!
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous nine patch! Scrappy is best.

What a great quilt and a really good idea. I am currently working on a charm quilt and am trying to do a row everyday. I am in the swap so right now my rows are only 50 pieces. I am thinking about your idea od cutting leftovers into 3" squares. Thanks :mrgreen:

Really appreciate your comments and good wishes. Scrap quilts are real quilts to me, as my granny only made scrap quilts and I learned from her sitting next to her on the couch when I was a young girl. I've got a few more in the works and will post when completed.
The very best way to get going on a scrappie is to keep your scraps cut into the right size squares, light with light and medium/dark with medium dark. And layed flat so you don't have to iron them prior to picking up and sewing together.
