scrappy quilt

Oh, isn't that pretty - and I don't even 'do' scrappy as a rule. Building the continuity in like that, with the background and sashing, is a wonderful idea. Lovely. . In message , maryd writes

Thank you. I don't do scrappy either but this pattern called to me.

I thought that about charm packs too. Here is her website where you can order the pattern.

Wow! You're really on a roll, Mary! I like this one very much, too

-- those soft neutrals are lovely.

Thanks. I pulled another floral for the outer border but it was too much.

Thanks, Sandy. The setting triangles and outer border are actually a tone on tone rose print that was given to me several years ago.

I looks great Mary. BTW- I just love your Christmas Table Topper. Is that a Carol Doak pattern?

Thank you. And yes. It's a mariner's star designed for her yahoo group.

I was wondering what would be best to do with the newest addition to my stash. It is 50 5" squares of Fairy Frost in every color. Thank you, Mary. Your scrappy will be ahhhh, just right. It will probably take me days to decide on arrangement but that's my favorite part. Well. One of my favorites. Polly

Glad to be of assistance ...... :)

I can put in a "plug" for a new book here. The title is "Loose Change: Quilts from Nickels, Dimes and Fat Quarters". It is a wonderful book for making scrappy quilts. Some are all using smaller pieces, some use some yardage to tie things together. And they are great for using divided into "colors" or "themes" as well as charm packs (nickels=3D5" squares), layer cakes ( dimes=3D 10" squares) and so forth. Showed the book to the person who schedules classes at the one shop and we promptly scheduled 3 different classes, one each in April, May and June. Everyone who sees the books wants to buy a copy. Great value. (NAYY.....)

Simple, but oh so pretty! I love it, Mary!

Best regards, Michelle in NV

Thanks, Michelle. So do I. :)

I really like scrappy quilts. That one is terrific. Putting the blocks on point is perfect. Taria

Thanks. I think I'll use the pattern again with patriotic fabrics.
