When you read my comments on my blog, just highlight them, and you'll be able to read them fine. That's what I'm doing until Xanga gets back with me and tells me how to put a background behind them!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971540420947426918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-66983768401118424652007-12-27T18:35:00.000-06:002007-12-27T18:35:00.000-06:00I have used up all my scraps and made them into br...I have used up all my scraps and made them into bricks. The sizes of the strips ranged from 1.5" to 3.0". So far I have made 2 scrap quilts and have 250 bricks ready to become quilts. I agree with others Bonnie's site and Finn's site are excellent choices.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835579401732431852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-19602916743503277432007-12-27T16:12:00.000-06:002007-12-27T16:12:00.000-06:00Wow, Nadine's idea sounds good!I have too much mes...Wow, Nadine's idea sounds good!<BR/>I have too much mess, & have no precut pieces, but I can see they would be great.<BR/>I agree, Bonnie is a fount of wisdom.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-35606687048924143322007-12-27T15:54:00.000-06:002007-12-27T15:54:00.000-06:00How funny, Bren !

I 'm planning a scrap quilt, as well for 2008 !<BR/>I've been admiring these for a long time, and noticed that mostof them are using 2 1/2 inch squares, either in 9 patches, or 4 patches, or even 16 patches. Check Finn's Blog, and also "Gypsy Quilter", and Bonnie of course......<BR/>On the other hand I was thinking about another "special project", that I'm calling "the New Look Quilt" (referring to my weight loss big project" lol), maybe with a particularly meaning block name, like "hidden star" (me ! LOL), or "bright hopes".... or anything else appropriate (suggestion welcome, please !). Then I would also make 3 blocks for each pound I lose, making a total of at least 120 blocks (40 pounds) - a nice quilt size indeed.<BR/>I would use :<BR/>white (for pure)<BR/>blue (for water)<BR/>green (for veggies)<BR/>red (for loving myself & my family)<BR/>orange/yellow (for fruit)<BR/>purple (for spirituality, so help me God)<BR/>yellow (for light...light weight, of couse LOL)<BR/>Finally, a nice scrappy look !<BR/>AND my blocks would be small (for small plates)<BR/><BR/>What do you think ?<BR/><BR/>XOXOXOXOXOXO<BR/>NADINEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-13215777926179909642007-12-27T15:37:00.000-06:002007-12-27T15:37:00.000-06:00I like to have 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" strips cut that I...I like to have 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" strips cut that I can grab from when I want to make a scrap quilt. I too suggest going to Bonnie's web site. Her Scrap Users System is great, but I have limited myself to precutting the above mentioned size of strips. I know I will, and have used them.Marilyn Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249212194704638191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-71381683989099647482007-12-27T14:11:00.000-06:002007-12-27T14:11:00.000-06:00Check out Bonnies website at: http://quiltville.co...Check out Bonnies website at: http://quiltville.com/index.html <BR/>She has some great tips, particularly her Scrap Users System.Momalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639264124135111970noreply@blogger.com
