Scrappy Finishes

This quilt was really fun to sew.  The pattern was from a free quilting class at the Red Rooster before they went out of business.  We exchanged 6" squares and this quilt was born.  Great way to do some stash busting...
This quilt pattern was by Bonnie Hunter from her Leaders and Enders book, "Happily Scrappily Irish."   I enjoyed making this quilt so much.  It was made entirely from stash.  I would like to make another one and use up more of my scraps.  I tossed everything in this quilt and it was fun to see it come together.
A close up of the quilting.  I loved how it adds dimension to this quilt.

I love both quilts. The quilting on that second quilt is pretty intense but is so beautiful.

Your scrap quilts are very pretty. Makes me want to dig out the postage stamp top I had been working on. Scrap quilts are my favorite, thanks for sharing yours.
