Carisa’s Quilt By: Nanabanana, Kansas, USA I made this scrappy quilt for my dauther’s 23rd birthday in 2006. I have made her many quilts through out the years, so I used as many scraps from those quilts that I could. She is now married and the quilt is on their bed. She just loves it and all the memories that it holds. Quilt size: width: 84" height: 102" |

Chintz Circles By: Cathi, Ontario, Canada Chintz Circles was made for my aunt’s 90th birthday. I remember chintz in her house when I was growing up and her favourites colours are pinks and greens so, as this reminded me of chintz, I named it Chintz Circles. Quilt size: width: 48" height: 56" |

Crazy Coloring By: Melissa Corry, Indiana, USA A year ago, a friend told me about how you can print appliqués in your printer using freezer paper. Love it!! I wanted to try it out, but using scraps in case it didn’t work out well. And that is how Crazy Coloring came to be. Aren’t the crayons the perfect touch to this stacked coin quilt!

Glens Quilt By: Khristina, Australia This was my first mystery quilt made by a tutorial that Bonnie Hunter first put out. I was so excited to do a scrappy quilt using fabrics from only my stash.

No Scrap Left Behind By: Contessa Timmerman, Washington, USA My husband asked me what can I do with such little pieces of fabrics. I used all the little bits of scraps I’ve been saving for years.

One Step short of file 13 By: Lindy, Washington, USA Decided to eradicate my 15+ years of scraps. Began cutting into 5,4,3,2 inch squares, 2 in. strips, etc. When there was nothing left but strings, I pieced those into fabric and cut out blocks. Very random, low stress, therefore great fun! I love the spunky yellow and using nothing to make something! Quilt size: width: 50" height: 50" |

Postage Due By: Sharon Vrooman, New York, USA I like to make baby postage stamp quilts from repurposed clothing and students’s scraps. The backing is ticking salvaged from a mattress factory sale.

Scrappy Cats with Sophistication By: Kathy, North Carolina, USA I really don’t do scrap quilts. This quilt was a result of leftovers of 3 other projects. Therefore, to me, it’s scrappy; because it was not planned. It just happened. This quilt was donated to Project Linus as were the 3 planned quilts from which this one was derived. Quilt size: width: 40" height: 54" |

Squirrely By: Lizze, Washington, USA I made my husband a log cabin out of flannel, and had all these wonderful pieces left over!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar By: Celine, United Kingdom My son LOVES the Hungry Caterpillar. I went shopping for fabrics with him 2 years ago and couldn’t leave the panel behind.

Waiting for My Kids in My Flower Garden By: Charlotte Noll, Florida, USA Scrappy Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt top hand pieced waiting for my children during their many activities.

I’m voting for Glen’s quilt by Khristina of Sew Prim Khris as I think it is perfect choice for a gentlemans quilt and an excellent example of a first quilt! Thankyou
Oh my, this was a difficult one. They are all beautiful and it was so hard to pick a favourite.
Once again (always!) the choice is hard to make. And all the inspiration! Some great ideas of what to do next time! I love that all of us ‘addicted’ quilters admit our attempts to ‘lighten the load’ of fabric is futile at this stage of gathering!
All the quilts were great! Very hard to pick Only one.
I am in love with Glen’s quilt. I looks like it was a lot of work and the beautiful fall color scheme really makes it stand out.
I love the soft color pallette of the Chintz Circles. It’s scrappy but has beautiful color placement.
