I've been trying to make a dent in my scrap stash and made several quilts for my Guild's Community Outreach Program and the HeartStrings online group. I did make a pretty good dent but I fell off the fabric wagon at Guild's Sew In this weekend. One of our members is moving out of state and she brought in a huge bag of scraps for us to share. I tried my best and only took home a little pile of some brights. Anyway I made several log cabins, chinese coins and string quilts.
The quilts in some of the photos are folded as I lost my pinning wall in when we painted our dining room. We used to have wall paper in the dining room and I would tack up quilts on one of the walls so I could take photos of the full quilt. We had to spackle the entire upper half of the wall after we took down the wall paper, there were hundreds of little holes in the wall from the tacks I had used. May in Jersey

I love them, especially the second one. I guess you simply keep hanging quilts and dont worry about holes.. eventually you have enough perferations to knock the whole wall down with just one easy push!

May - they are all just great. Sure to make some child very happy and cozy. Great job.
An idea for your design wall - I put little nails into the molding (can barely see them) and then hang those big clips you get in Staples (forget what they are called - not the usual paper clips - they are usually black)I hang my flannel sheet from the clips and the whole thing can be taken down easily when company comes or I want to wash the lint and dust off the sheet. Hope this makes sense.
