Marie and Barbara - the Mile a Minute is very similar to what Bonnie Hunter calls "Crumb" blocks - but I first saw it in Winter 2000 American Quilter - it was a revelation to me, and I have been making these blocks ever since, and loving them more and more! Before that I had tried to use up...

I've been looking through my magazines at the Christmas wall hangings. I made one last year for our motorhome. It was one of those last minute panels and I added some borders and then quilted around it. It really did turn out cute and the kids did like it, so that is important. I started to cut some...

I am working on a quilt for my DH from the book published by House of White Birches. The book is United States Quilt Block Collection. I am hoping to have this complete for him by Christmas of this year, but that will all depend upon the help that I can get from my quilting friends on QCA. I really want...

Snowbird--you are doing it the way I do, too. Even before I heard of this system - I cut scraps into the sizes I think I will need, starting with the biggest ones it will do - then cut down until all I have left is true 2" squares, which I also have a pattern for. Wish I was as organized as you...

.. Ladies, I have the pattern now too, and now that I see it, it's just about like I've been doing for years with my scraps, to keep them organized and ready to use ~~just that I never put out a pattern or book. What I did was pick out some patterns I saw in magazines or on TV -- like Donna Poster's...

Now that we're all through with the MQ#2, and I finally got the pictures sent, I will now try to get back to this discussion and send a picture of some of my scrap quilts. Actually, this is my view while I'm at the computer - but there are several examples here. On the right is the denim with...
