Scraptastic Ideas

We're having fun showcasing lots of different projects featuring scraps.  Leslie shared shared some traditional ideas and more modern takes featuring brights by color or from a selected palette ....leftovers from quilts and odds n' ends combined to make great donation projects, baby quilts, complementary gift ideas, etc.!  
Maybelle's Star in 1800's reproduction in process
We really like the versatility of this pattern by Common Threads - we have a work-in-progress using 1800's reproductions combined with shirtings shown above, and then we mixed up a bright quilt, using 1/4 of the pattern to create this baby quilt, approx. 40 x 40...lots of fun!!  This pattern features 3 inch finished half-square triangles by the way!
