    :D :roll: My name is Peggy White from Belen, NM, and yes I use scraps, in fact that is all I do use. I love scrap quilts and so do all my children and grandchildren. They make the quilts to me look more like they did in the Old days. I'm 71 years young and enjoy quilting very much. I believe piecing quilts is like a jigsaw puzzle. And I love that too. Always in Christ. Peggy White

    There is a wonderful website with lots of free patterns for using up those scraps. I cut my leftover bits and pieces into squares, strips, etc. and store them is shoe boxes so when I need a 5" square or a 2 l/2" strip I just dive into my box. It keeps bits organized.
    The website is: http://quiltville.com

    Thanks OG,

    is it purely for decoration, or do you use the jam to make a bread quilt at some point?
