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

very nice!

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!

Very nice to know this. Thank you for the tutorial.
