    Pick a quilt block or pattern, go through your fabrics and pick out a few pieces in the same color or a few colors that go well together, add some white or beige and you are on your way to making a scrappy quilt. Using neutrals like white, beige, cream and even black or navy are a good way to stretch your fabrics - muslins work well also. Keep Joann's coupons in your purse so they are handy whenever you need them.

    There are a lot of us in that same "boat". I make a lot of scrappy quilts. Go to flea markets, thrift shops and yard sales.
