Oh Scrap! : Simple Inspiration

Sometimes inspiration for a quilt can come from the simplest item.

One of our "Pickers" let us know they had a couple bags of fabric for us.  The bags contained a lot of yardage, quite a few printed panels and a few previously cut squares.  There were quite a few squares cut from some material that looks like blue bandanas.  

I try to find some quick inspiration for things like cut squares because they can create a storage problem if we can't attach them to something quickly.  I took a quick dive into the scrap bin and saw a bunch of Cars fabric.  It wasn't perfect but I knew it would all come together into a small quilt.

We even had some Cars fabric for the back.  Kelly and her sister sent in all these prints, and we sure have been using them a lot lately.  I have been trying to make a couple scrap quilts a month to try and keep up with some of the scraps that get made making all these donation quilts.

I have plans for some of the other cut items, but they went into kits to send out to be sewn.

Scraps sure make great donation quilts!
