For all of you out there that hasn't bitten the bullet and gone totally scrappy, get cutting up your scraps and join in the fun!

Thanks again, Grammy Dywnn for starting your scrap quilts topic, I don't think I would have been brave enough to do this without all the inspirational quilts posted, so thanks everyone :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Finally a totally scrappy quilt, and used all scraps, it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thank you so much....

Thank you, I have also made the backing totally scrappy too! Here's a link to it in case you missed it:

Thanks again for all your fantastic compliments! I will be layering up this weekend and to complete it...I will no doubt be doing 'scrappy' free motion as this is rather a large quilt to squeeze through my Janome LOL
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

the back of your quilt is just as beautiful as the front, I have seen others say their's was a scrappy quilt but it didn't look it, too much of the same colors they must have had a lot of four or five colors, yours is scrappy, all different colors just what I like to see a TRULY SCRAPPY quilt, just beautiful, you really made my day, now I am going to do a totally scrappy quilt. Thank you again... :)

Thank you :thumbup:

I must admit that I have enjoyed organising all my scraps, but haven't cut into anything bigger than a fat 1/8th as my fabric is precious and I can't bear to waste it! It has given me no end of pleasure to create this quilt for DH John, not that I didn't have many doubts in the beginning about how it would actually look :shock: , but going by the reviews I think it's a winner after all :D

Yes! I have always made my quilts from stash, using whatever size pieces I have that 'go'!! This is the first time I have had the freedom of anything goes and I like the feeling!! :thumbup:
