I have a stack of quilt tops that I've made, some are finished tops, some still need borders, and I haven't decided how to quilt them yet. I think I'll take the easy (but expensive) way out and take them to a long arm quilter. The scrappy rail fence was fun and easy, but barely made a dent in my 2-inch strip stash. I could probably make 20 more. The Delta Star is a pattern from Amazing Nickel Quilts (book) by Pat Speth and I used Moda charm packs for the entire thing, mostly assorted Fig Tree Quilt collections.

Yes, Loretta, I have lots of scraps left. I used to cut squares to sell on Ebay and I would always have a little bit left over after rotary cutting a couple of yards at a time, so I would cut that last piece into 2-inch strips. I bet I have 1000 strips or more, times width of fabric. Plus several bins of other odd pieces which I can use for applique and paper piecing.
