Thank you, Quilting Addict, for mentioning the Quiltville. I had not come across that yet - but have now - that is great!

The polyester fabric that is used to attach bed ruffles is a perfect backing for these scrappy squares. I have tons of it from taking apart bed ruffles for the fabric. I have been wondering what to do with it, and now I know!!!

If you use dryer sheets for block foundation does it stay together or come apart after a few washings? Does anybody know? If you use batting for the foundation wouldn't you want it bigger for the sashing and then would'nt it be a QAYG block and put backing on?

I like this block! I made a scrappy block like that, and then trimmed them all to be the same size. It worked out great. I separated them with sashing in a beige tone on tone and the blocks really stand out. I love my quilt!

Sounds like me wildyard...I saved all mine too. In a tub just waiting to be used!
Thanks so much for the tute & your blocks are so very pretty. I love the idea of putting a sashing around each block. This is a definate "bookmark".
Thanks for sharing :)

Very nice, I have so many scraps and scraps of batting so I guess I should make a scrapy quilt next! Thanks for sharing.

:-) Ahhh, I didn't think to use batting scraps. Good idea!

I can imagine that kids would love looking over these scrappy fabrics and discovering different motifs...like an I Spy quilt.

I had a friend that made colorwash quilts but she would love to sneak in a tiny object that blended but could be discovered if someone took the time to look closely. Fun!

We all have scraps, thanks for posting this!
