thank you everyone....when i was working with the scraps i didn`t pay much attention to what was on the fabric but payed more attention to the colors and values for good contrast....so it is funny when you look closer at the quilts...there are flowers and skulls and xmas fabric with halloween , some easter as welll as little princesses,even some cowboys and guys with six-packs, but from afar you don`t really see all that....so much fun to imagine all the quilts these scraps came from...when i`m done, there will be but a few crumbs..lol........

I think that cream colored fabric was my biggest challenge...took me a while to find a way to use it...and it unravels easily...

The snowball pattern came from the mag "Quilts and More" fall 2011 A Better Homes and Gardens special publication...it`s called Sparkling Gems
What magazine did the snowball one come out of? I've been doing scrappy kids quilts. My hubby has limited my fabric buying til I use up some fabric and I have tons of kids novelty because my kids were small when I started quilting. I love that one it's so different and would be perfect for a boy quilt!! All the scrappies you made were awesome, that's a great bargain for both of you! I love doing tops and have a stack to quilt I always run out of batting lol Thanks!
