Scrappy quilts are my favorites. I save pictures into a quilts folder in my pictures for future reference. That way I always have new ideas on how to use up my scraps.

Scrappy is a great way to go.

I love scrappy too. It's a great way to use up leftovers from "organized" projects or showcase many fabrics. I'm doing a project for my 90yr old MIL, using her stash to make each grandchild(29) a quilt from her. My difficulty is choosing patterns and actually cutting her fabrics. It sound silly but I remember helping her make the kids many things. I decided to just close my eyes and jump in though. So I'm going to make my first one with this group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...209515-12.html :D

I am hooked on scrappies! I get scraps from a woman who makes cotton sheets, and love trying to make quilts with the small pieces. I am also working on my first string quilt made from scraps from a LQS--it is addicting! The LQS gives away strips to whoever makes charity quilts. My quilts go to Children's Hospital through my local guild. Best use of scraps ever!

Nothing wrong with liking to make scrappy quilts. I like them because there is so much different fabric that you never get bored looking at your quilt. You always can see something different. I agree people are trying to save money and scraps are a great way to go.

Scrappy quilts have always been a favorite of mine! They are beautiful!

I have to confess that I did not keep scraps. But now that I see some beautiful scrap quilts I have started to keep scraps. I hope I use them.

I love scrappy quilts! Took awhile to build up the stash to use them and so glad of it! Still learning to not be so controlling in choosing colors ;)
