I got myself all tucked into bed Saturday night and realized I forgot to write the Oh Scrap! post.
See how important all of you are to me?....
I didn't really do any scrap quilting this week so I guess you will have to settle on seeing some scrappy quilt tops sent in by others.
Local quilter Chris put together this fun quilt top. She just pulled some scraps and started with whatever sized square she had and then framed it out to 6.5" square. I think this lime green backing came from Kristin. We have had it for quite some time - it was waiting for just the right quit.

I don't remember ever sharing this fun scrappy quilt. I love it! I think it was made by Kristi and the backing was sent in by Karen. It is such a great way to use up those skinny strings.
I think Kristi also sent in this quilt top. My notes say they are slab blocks but now I realize these are probably the original potato chip block. The 12.5" squares are made from 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles. A big thanks to local longarm quilter Sherry for finishing it up.

I'm guessing you've had a really busy week! I hope all is going well for you and also MHMH. I love that rainbow zigzag - such a fun design from a very simple block. Hope you have a relaxing Sunday, Cyndy!
I love seeing your scrappy quilt photos! Always lots of inspiration!
While your scrappy parade today was inspiring with all the color, the scrappy rail fence sure pulled at my heart. I wonder if I could make one of those with my leftover strings?
It's always fun to see what you can do with your scraps. Very fun quilts, all of them.
Beautiful combinations!
Those are some fun scrappy Quilts.
Hi Cynthia, we love seeing all of your scrappy quilts and those posted to the party. Thanks!
The scrappy quilts are great! Have a wonderful week. 😊
I may recognize the potato chip blocks as coming from my stash. I see several fabrics that I recognize. Truth is, I haven't been able to sew much due to packing up my house of 25 years. However, I really may have sent you those blocks...if only I had a better memory. Thanks for sharing all the progress you and your team have been making.
