thanks Hilary! Are you willing to let me loose in your scraps? I think they may all end up in my empty suitcase...

For all of you out there that hasn't bitten the bullet and gone totally scrappy, get cutting up your scraps and join in the fun!
Thanks again, Grammy Dywnn for starting your scrap quilts topic, I don't think I would have been brave enough to do this without all the inspirational quilts posted, so thanks everyone :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I always think of scrappy as just sewing scraps together period.

This IS just sewing scraps together, it only consists of 4 patches from 2" squares and HST's made easily by sewing 2 4" squares together!! Nothing difficult!! All you have to do is make sure you have a strong contrast between your fabrics, anything goes, it is the secondary overall pattern that makes it work I think!! Here is a picture of the first few 4 patches and HST's I made so you can see how simple it is
:D :D :D :thumbup:
And here is a link to how I deal with intersections, as I never use pins!

I chain piece as much as possible too, which makes this altogether a really quick quilt to make :thumbup:
