I got past the What?? page when I realized for me, scrappy was color, not pattern. Any pattern you like Just imagine each color as the whole spectrum from your stash.
It would be interesting to take a quilt you've already made, and like, and remake it in scraps?
I'm working at precutting down my stash as I won't be able to do that with precision before long...kind of like canning my stash
Here is an example of my storage, and any Bonnie Hunter quilt is an example of the result.

I've got a bunch of small cuts of fabric anywhere from 2.5" to 1/2 yard and all sizes in between. I'm looking for a good pattern that lends itself to scraps. I was thinking possibly a log cabin. That is honestly my only idea haha. Any thoughts or scrappy quilts to share with me? Thanks Joe

I am following along with a scrappy quilt-a-long. Try going to https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.c...a-new-project/
Deanna does beautiful work and patterns are free. Most are scrappy patterns. I am presently cutting for several of these quilt patterns. She is so helpful also if you have any questions.

We have a great thread here on the QB that has been ongoing for years. It's for scrappy quilts! It's over 100 pages long, so make some coffee. I scroll through it just to look at pictures every once in a while. You'll find tons of inspiration there.

Do you or a friend use dryer sheets? Instead of throwing those away, use them as the foundation for string quilts. Use the ones that are no longer scented or usable for softening. Also, a person can use phone book pages but, of course, that probably needs to be removed. I suppose the paper might "wash out" in time but I would think it best to remove.

Any string quilt is good for scraps. Some of my favorites, Spiderweb, french braid, postage stamp, path through the woods, instead of a regular log cabin try a curved log cabin for a different look. I just made a shimmer quilt using scraps. Almost any pattern can be scrapped up. Have fun.
