Where are your Scrappy and Crazy Quilts..................

It's been over a month since anyone posted a picture of their scrappy quilts .
I miss them. I know you are all quilting--aren't you . Please.......I need
to see a scrappy quilt :peek: . It's OK if your picture is in more than one place :lol: .

This one is still just a top, but it is definitely scrappy. The background was scraps too.

and I love it..... you come up with some good ideas using your scraps, QM

Indeed a nice quilt Marynel.

Was afraid you would ask that Gimpy. Haven't finished one since my String Quilt for DH at Christmas................but I am working again on my "Trading Patches" like Golo made. Now, that is really scraps, love it.

OOPS!!! Forgot I finished a baby quilt this month. This little one just arrived Jan. 29 weighing in at a dainty 9 lb. 10 oz. Glad I made it bigger!!!! She is just beautiful .

Nice Paws and I like your diagonal quilting on it.....

That baby quilt is darling! I just love the cheerful fabrics. That is a big baby! :affraid:

Thanks Golo and Ann. This is a special baby, she is being adopted by a fantastic young couple. This is their second adopted baby .

Paws - what a precious and lovely quilt! Perfect for a sweet baby girl. Is the baby's name Mya Rose? Isn't that a pretty name?

beautiful paws, love your fabrics, so happy. She will most likely grow up to be a petite dainty little gal, did they young couple get to choose her name? its pretty too

Thanks ladies. Yes, her name is Mya Rose and they did name her. They brought her
home at two days old.

That quilt is sur to be a delight for them.

Wow - that is super Marynel - I love the blend of colors. I've never done circles - was it hard?

Not as hard as I expected. I found a couple of tricks.
1. Clip the curve on the pie only, but mark the center point of both pieces. Pin there.
2. Have the "pie" piece on the bottom and the "a la mode" piece on top.
3. Lift the outer edge of the "a la mode" and sorta straighten the "Pie" piece as you sew. This is the hardest part and takes a coupe of tries, so try with scrps first.
4. press towards the pie.

The first curved piecing like this that I did was my wqves quilts. For those, the circle radius was 9", so they went together really easily.

This is far from perfect, but it is nearly done (binding left on the top) and is VERY warm with thermore binding. Everything was scrap except for the wonderful cats mamy gave me and, of course, the batting).

OMG... that is sooo cute! love the idea you had with the novelty fab!! :candycane:

What a great way to show off those cute kitties!

That is so cute, Marynel!!!!

Cute cute cute cute.... someone is going realllllllly love that one...

I've never made a scrappy quilt yet, but do have plans to.
