Just remembered that I had completed this scrappy quilt a few weeks ago and wanted to share it. I had spent several days one week cutting all my scraps into 2-1/2" strips and ended up with about 700 strips. Since I had the strips cut, I went looking for a pattern that would use up quite a few. I found this one in Bonnie Hunter's free patterns on Quiltville and paired up enough strips for 63 nine-patches. Then I used a variety of greens for all the star points (eight folded corners per block....yikes! thought I never would get all those finished). But I persevered and am happy with the results.
What a beautiful quilt those scraps made. It looks so homey and comforting.
