I started out making scrap quilts for charity but several turned out so cute that my family wants me to keep them, so pieced more. Guess what...I am nearly out of scraps! What a grand ending! I've made eight quilt tops this summer.

beds for animal shelter plz ladies. just double and triple check that there are no stray pins! winter and even cool fall nights make for very cold kennels. I use the larger pcs for scrap quilts but use the little ones for animal beds. animals don't mind ugly blanktes either

I see such beautiful use of scraps. Having grown up not mixing patterns etc in clothes, that's the hardest part of quilting for me. I love looking at them just have problems doing it. Maybe trying this will help. Now I just need to accumulate some scraps I'm willing to work with -- you need to complete projects to have scraps left
. At least I've stopped buying bags of other people's scraps, then not using them.
Oh well; my beagles love me even if I may be certifiable!! Joyce in hot and humid Delaware

...never having done this I need some instructions......do you just keep sewing scraps together until you have made a piece of fabric, so to speak, or are you using something as a foundation--muslin/paper..........sounds like fun!!!!!!
