Quilt (Crazy log cabin) this is for my G/D's 11th birthday It has been made with leftover scraps of p/work fabric . I just came across a youtube video of this crazy log cabin quilt and thought what a good way to use up leftovers I started cutting and 5 days later I have enough for 4 or more quilts looks like I will be busy for awhile.
25169I love your quilt...I also love scrap quilts. I have one in progress now similar to the one I posted here. I made one a long time back in the log cabin style...Keep up the good work and make another one of scraps.

66904thanks ...while reorganising my small sewing room I keep finding more "leftover" fabric....soozie
25169Very nice.I also like quilts when something unespected happens
113884I checked out her video and liked it too. I can't see making that many pin holes in my wall wall but I like the idea of bagging the sizes. I guess you could figure out how many you needed for as many blocks as you wanted to make. You must have been a cutting machine for those days! I wonder how much bigger it would be if you used the 2.5 inch strips ... will figure that out later. I really like your sashing and corner stones. Looks like some interesting fabrics too! Thanks for sharing this.

I did not make any pinholes in my wall either I tried stick tape but the bags got too heavy and fell off I ended up putting them in plastic containers dividing them into 2 sections and labelling them worked well...soozie

6788Oh my, you are fast on the peddle - wll we used to have pedals! Lol! It is gorgeous! Do you pick the colors before hand or do all your scaps just balance themselves in the quilt.
