I just wanted to say that this quilt is AMAZING!!!!!

Shorebird

Cut into strips or stings and make a scrap quilt..........If your strips are narrow enough, the ugly will immediatley dissapear! This could be one of the nicest quilts you have ever made.

tooMuchFabric

Definitely not.
You should pack it all up and send to my house, let me help you out here, I'm just thinking of you here, ok?
Not buying it, eh?

Seriously, I'm loving all the suggestions. You can make a ton of fabulous quilts out of these scraps!!

Anything with bright contrasting prints could work for a four patch posie.

Scissor Queen

You need four repeats for four patch posies though. If you have scraps you're not likely to have four repeats.

Charm quilts or one patch quilts any size are great. moosegirl

This is true -- thought some scraps may be bigger, especially your southwest and tropicals. I love the bedspread I made myself out of tropicals, but it did take a good bit of fabric for the bigger size.

I cut ugly fabric into one inch strips and am making a ladder crocheted rug. Amazing how beautiful all the colors are when run together

I am making one of the scrap quilts from Quiltsville right now. Some of the fabrics I have are hideous but when cut in strips and sewn with others, the quilt is wonderful. I try to pick one dominate color (on this particular quilt it's red) and make sure that each block has at least one strip of red. When it's done, that dominate color gives some unity to the quilt. Also, we make prayer quilts at our church and they are usually approximately 50" x 60" quilts made from 5 1/4" squares and they are all made from scraps (because we try not to buy anything but muslin backing and the batting...most of the fabric is donated). Again, we try to pick a dominate color and once you put a border or two that kinda goes with the dominate color, they are quite beautiful. One lady I took lessons from told me to always put in one ugly fabric in my scrap quilts and I try to mind her instructions.

When I "inherit" a bag or box of scrap fabric, I got through it and pick out what I "like" then cut the rest into 2 1/2" strips, or squares of whatever size I can get from a scrap. Put these all into plastic bins and when a bin gets full, just start sewing. A really neat quilt can be made using strips sewn onto a large background square. Sew and flip style. The first strip lays RST on the diagonal of the background square. Sew the seam and flip it over the background, add another strip until half the square is in strips. Square up and you have a block done. We do this a lot for charity quilts that we donate to people who are ill or have had a fire or other disaster.
