    I really admire people who can look at a tub of scraps and come up with something so gorgeous. I look at my scraps and see......scraps.

    I never thought about doing something like that and am quite enthused about trying it out. Thanks!

    I do like that quilt; I like scrappies and I think I have the Hanging Gardens pattern; I might have to haul my box of scraps out and try that. Very pretty quilt.

    Talking Great !

    [QUOTE=Sheep Farmer;8042733]I grabbed my hefty bag of scraps, bits 'n pieces and started sewing them together. I figured I could use up All of my scraps.

    Ha!

    I don't think I even made a dent in the scrap pile! What's up with that!?!

    I did not use any foundation for the blocks; however, I had some old adding machine tape laying around and used it to sew pieces for the border. That was a huge help when it came time to trimming since I didn't have to worry about measuring! The adding machine tape was already 2-inches.

    I used my Hanging Gardens pattern (from Cozy Quilt Designs) for the layout. I had to do some math (ouch) for the setting triangles since my 7-inch scrappy blocks were smaller than what the pattern calls for.

    Beautiful scrappy! With the sun shining through the quilt top, it looks like stained glass. So lovely.

    I'm not a big fan of scrappy, but you've changed that with this beauty!!! To me, it doesn't even look scrappy with the way you've tied everything together with the black & white. What a beautiful quilt!!!

    Great idea! I really like that pattern...think I'll order it and do what you did. Those 'scraps' now sparkle!
