Spudgrandma:
all the sweet ladies

Spud: Thank you and I agree. When I reopened this thread the first quote I read was from Diane. Brought tears to my eyes.

Anyway this system is alive and well. However, I have to admit my last quilt wasn't scraps. It's for a baby believe it or not. The momma wanted French Provincial. I found this line by Moda called "French General". She loved the fabrics so off I went.

I've got a lot of 2 X 8's scrappy. May make another. Someday?!

Patty, love your quilt. My fav quilts are scrappy. I also read back through and it was like a walk down memory lane. So many that do not post and then Diane, so sad. I'm not sure how I missed this thread before, it was before I got sick, but it has been fun reading all the post from all the sweet ladies who are not around anymore. I sure wish they would come back.

Marge P. I think getting started is the hardest part of cutting up our scraps. I've found that sometimes, I do a great job and other times I just put the leftovers away. My excuse seems to be the scraps are too big to cut up. I don't think that is always the case. LOL

Good luck with your search and let me know if you have any questions.

Patti - thanks for posting info on the Quilter's Lumberyard method,. I know I got the info from you in Leavenworth October 2011 so guess I better go and find it.

I need to take a month and get all my scraps in order and in the process, clean up the sewing room which is by far winning the battle.

Snowbird, your quilts are beautiful. I've been doing some of them for years. I don't throw fabrics away regardless how small. My strip basket is overflowing again. and my small bit & pieces is getting full again too and I don't have time right now. Sometimes I take the strips and make binding out of them. I also just sew them together to make a quilt called Trash to Treasure..you will find it in my gallery. I also make coin quilts with them. Fast and easy. I do a lot of charity quilts for children and they love them.

Hugs.

Thank you everyone. MNNancy, Kris, Michelle B, Ginny and Elizabeth.

Nana: This isn't a lazy bone in your body. Story Teller!

Frances: I see where you are full of mischief. Enjoy this thread.

Pat; You would have laughed. I'd lay out the strip, pin the pinwheel and go to the machine and sew it wrong. I wore out my seam ripper and destroyed a lot of fabric.

Jacy: thanks, but I can't take credit for the design. the "Lumberyard Girls" come up with it. They are pretty cleaver with graph paper and 2 X 4's or 2 X 2's or in this case 2 X 8's. Plus the seam allowance.
