I made all of these little scrappy bricks blocks using so many scraps!

I used a big stack of 2.5" strips to make this scrappy nine-patch quilt. I think the borders hold it all together.

Random Blocks

I've had these five churn dash blocks hanging around forever. I decided to trim them, add matching borders, and put them into a charity quilt. Some left over blocks and I had something I liked. Now to piece it together and add some borders.

I've been gathering some 3.5" by 6.5" bricks to make a super scrappy quilt. I really like being able to pull a quilt together from a large selection of prints. Expect to see more of these.

I made this fun, scrappy bricks quilt. I love how each of these is the same and so very different. These are 9.5" by 9.5" blocks made using 2" by 3.5" bricks. That's the smallest scrap I want to deal with. 

Simple blocks for the win. I Took inspiration from the border fabrics to choose the squares. Such a fun finish. 

Both quilts will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Nine Patches

I had so many blue bricks I decided to try something new. This quilt was made with 2.5" by 4.5" bricks set in nine-patch blocks. Then I added a strip between each block and alternated the rows. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.

Scrappy Bricks

I've been working on some more scrappy bricks quilts. 

These are the perfect project if you have loads of scraps and only a little bit of time to sew. You just sew a couple bricks, or a couple blocks and set it aside. It is also a good one for leaders and enders. both of these are made with 2.5" by 4.5" bricks. I use a 4.5" by 4.5" square as the center of each block. These will both finish around 36" by 36".

Die Cutting the Leftovers

When I trim a charity quilt, I set aside the trimmings in this bin. It is overflowing with scrappy goodness. 

I decided to do some sorting by size. 

My goal was to cut some of those leftovers into usable pieces. I sorted the scraps into some general sizes. These sizes become binding, borders, and blocks. 

Then I sat down with my biggest leftovers, in this case the pieces that could easily be cut into 6.5" squares. These are the easiest to make into a charity quilt quickly. Thirty squares sewn in five rows of six squares and you almost have a quilt. Just add borders. Not into borders? Just add another row and column (6 blocks by 7 blocks, for 42 total squares) and you have a little quilt top. After cutting this stack I didn't even make a dent in that bin of fabric. I did have some pieces that moved into another size category.
