Thanks! Well I cut up lots of scraps during June/July and started sewing the 4 Patches and HST's on the 24th July...finished the top a few days ago so just over a month! It will finish around 88" square when its bound

I will try and get a decent photo of it tomorrow and let you all have a sneak peak

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:

Finally a totally scrappy quilt, and used all scraps, it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thank you so much....

Thank you, I have also made the backing totally scrappy too! Here's a link to it in case you missed it:

Thanks again for all your fantastic compliments! I will be layering up this weekend and to complete it...I will no doubt be doing 'scrappy' free motion as this is rather a large quilt to squeeze through my Janome LOL
