Let's Start With Leftovers Notice the small helper hands and legs! |
It was the first quilt that I entered in a quilt show and I was shocked and proud when it received an honorable mention. I didn't even see the ribbon at first, one of my boys had to point it out to me at the show!

The bright colors may make it less traditional than other scrap quilts, but a scrap is a scrap! What do you do with your scraps? I'd love to hear your comments! I need to make more quilts with mine, the scraps are piling up!

Fun quilt! And I love the quilting motifs. As far as scraps are concerned, I don't think I've ever made a quilt that wasn't a scrap quilt. The more fabrics, the better!
Very nice Michelle. Love the light and dark theme. The quilting of flowers lovely. Is that hand done or machine. I haven't hand quilted in years. Do all of my quilting with a machine.
Since I have a house full of girls my scraps are used for doll clothes and other doll related items ... bedding, towels, placemats, rugs ... anything that a loving doll could need.
I dearly love scrap quilts. It seems the more I use my scraps, the more I accumulate. I have them separated by color in drawers. And I'll admit, I am anal and I iron all my scraps before I put them in the drawers. I like them all flat and ready to sort through as I pick and choose pieces for projects. I used to get overwhelmed by the amount of scraps I had, but now I just look at it as a great selection to choose from. :)
I like all the brights in your log cabin quilt.
