    Barb C,

    Thank you for the great idea. BUT, I believe you were in my scrap box because I recognize some of your fabrics. Actually, mine is purged with my five 4Hers want to dig. They believe this box is a gold mine.

    Can I tell you about my five little ladies (one - first year[8]; four - third years [10,10,11,11]). We had 4H Youth Fair this week. All five got blue ribbons. Two of these were Reserve Grand Champions, and another was a Grand Champion. The other two have been Champs in previous years. We were all excited with our finish.

    The first year made a wall hanging from four HSTs, and two borders. The fourth year ladies made the Ohio Star pattern with one border, into a pillow. There projects area all handquilted. We did all of this in nine meetings and also made up our display for the fair.

    Love my girls. Suzanne

    What a great use of leftover or what-was-I-thinking fabrics. I have made some string quilts but will give this one a whirl.

    What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm hoping this winter, I'll get a chance to use up all my scraps.

    Thanks again,

    Barbara J/NYC

    That is what I am doing. I have about 60 of them made. Aiming for 100 this week. They go fairly quick and are definitely easy!

    I had a huge bag of fake-fur scraps from kids costumes, etc. It was all good quality fur fabric, so I made a quilt almost like this. It's fantastic! I put a light batting, black flannel on the back, and it's one of the kids favorites. Those little scraps are a fun challenge to work up, and the projects are unique and fun. I like how yours turned out with scraps. S.

    Thanks for the link to the site.

    Did you see that the quilter/author made over 1000 blocks (making numerous Crumb quilts).

    On the right hand side of her blog click on Crumb blocks to read all her posts about the blocks.

    This does look like fun. It also looks like it could be 'an organized scrappy' quilt...something I like better than just 'scrappy'. May try it in June at a machine that sitting all alone and not used.
