Oh Scrap! : Some of my Scrap Quilts

I know you are probably tired of me saying it, but it was another busy week! But I am hoping by the end of March, I might get a breather until late summer. Fingers crossed!



It was fun to see some of the scrap quilts I put together crossed the finish line this week.  This pretty snowball quilt was made from a bunch of pink and purple scraps.  The inspiration was some pansy fabric I had a small piece of.  Nann sent in the backing fabric and board member Bev quilted this one.




I also made these floral blocks from our scraps.  I made enough for two quilts, but the second pile is still waiting for me to sew them together.  I think this backing came from an estate.  It looks so pretty on the back - I hope it finds its way to someone who loves flowers.  A big thanks to Terry for quilting it.  She has been longarm quilting a lot of our quilts this year.


I need to get back to making more blocks from our scraps.  They are slowly building up on us again.  There are a lot of pinks and greens so maybe a snowball/nine-patch combination.  Hmmm.

But first, I need to get through our two fundraising events in April.  A big sew day and a pizza event.   If you are local, reach out and I can tell you more about them!

  • You can link up your blog post (not your homepage please) or Instagram photo from the past week that features your use of scraps.
  • If you are linking to a blog post, I ask that you link back to my blog somewhere in your post. So if you are writing about scraps, just get into the habit of including a link as there will be a linky party available every week!

You always have the best ideas for scrappy quilts - I love those! What size did you make the snowball blocks? Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!

Thanks for the inspiration. I have that pansy print in the first quilt posted today. I don't have enough for a whole quilt, but now I have an inspiration on how to use it in the future with other fabrics.

Great quilts today. I think I had that same pansy print. Hum, I wonder whether any of it is left?

That was a great backing fabric for the floral blocks! You sure get the best out of a scrap!

Very fun quilts! Definitely shows that simple is still effective. Hope things slow down for you soon.
