Scrappy quilt made with 1 1/2" strip scraps, and a 2 1/2" middle squares, all from my scrap tote. Many, many scraps are still remaining. No pattern was used, just an idea in my head after checking out Pinterest. I did have to buy backing, but was able to add some scraps to the backing also. Measure about 42"x59" and was quilted with a wavy grid pattern. It will be donated to the East Central Iowa Chapter of Project Linus on Tuesday.

Very nice scrappy quilt for a great cause.
I just figured out why you can't get rid of scraps. I just cut up tons of scraps to make two quilts. However, when you cut out a 3.5" square out of a scrap, you often end up with two more scraps. They're smaller, but they're still scraps. It seems to be never-ending.

Copycat....there are butterflys, one green frog, two types of small fish, blue birds, ladybugs all scattered throughout the quilt. many of the scraps were bits left over from a quilt I made a few years back for myself..."My Monster Quilt" that was posted here on the board.

That's what I love about the quilting process.
