Scrappy Quilt Tops
Spent a few weeks playing with scraps - in January and then in May. Started with a shoebox of 2 1/2" mini charms and one of triangle off cuts - both from totes of scraps from the ladies I quilt with.
My DD is going to (practice) quilt them on her long arm for me then I'll probably donate them somewhere. Might just keep them around to admire first though!

All your quilts are lovely. You have a good eye for color in choosing your border fabrics. Does the block have a name?
I wasn't sure about how you used your triangle cut offs? I was thinking of a single fabric triangle, but it seems yours have 2 colors? Thanks for sharing your photos!

The name of the block is Arkansas Crossroads. There are many YouTube videos about how to assemble it and the pattern is a freebee.This is the block that started my obsession with 2.5" squares. 
Lovely work, SuzzyQ and I second the comment about your color choice for the borders on #1 and I like the red on #2 also. Yes, yes, would love to see them when quilted too.
