Let's empty out those overflowing scrap bins to make room for some new loot!
The "rules":
1. You are not allowed to buy fabric for this challenge.
2. Make quilts using only scraps from your scrap bin. What you call a "scrap" is completely up to you. As we saw from yesterday's comments, opinions vary widely on this topic.
3. Do consider the difference between "scrap" and "stash" when choosing fabric.
4. There are no other rules.
If you'd like to join in, leave a comment on this post and I'll create a list of all your blogs so we can have a look at each other's projects.
I've also created a Flickr group.
And, of course, a button if you'd like.
And code for it:

Let's have some scrappy fun!

ReplyDeleteI have started making a scrappy log cabin...all scraps...I'd like to join in
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I've been planning a string quilt for ages - even have the strips all set up to sew. This is the added incentive I need to get going!
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay. I'm in too.

ReplyDeletegreat idea, I just finished a scrappy little wall hanging and am already in the mood for another!
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I need! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDiabolical: it's like reverse psychology. You CAN'T buy new fabric, so you WANT to, and you use up scraps so you don't even feel guilty when you go shopping! LOL. I'm totally in :P. Although I was kind of going to use up my Christmas fabric scraps for your flying geese BOM.
ReplyDeleteI'm in too. I have a lovely pile of scraps that have been calling my name. -Allison cluckclucksew.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm in. Is there a deadline for completion of the project or is it an ongoing challenge?
ReplyDeleteI'm in - I so have to get rid of some of my scraps!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to do my best to play along! Thanks for the challenge, I'm definitely not lacking scraps.
ReplyDeletei'm in! i'm hoping the back can be non-scrappy?
ReplyDeleteOooh, YES!!! I'm excited. I love this block and there are TONS of scraps in my "quarters".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI am new to the world of quilt blogs...and blogs in general...how fun. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteSounds like allot of fun please include me
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm intrigued. We just have to make something out of nothing but scraps?? Is there a deadline? I'm seriously thinking I can do this.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join, please. Scrap projects are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteI've actually challenged myself to see how many quilts/quilted items I can make without buying anything this year. So far I've made a table runner and three quilt tops. So far, so good! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Paducah in April, though. So I'm sure my moratorium will be over by then, but I'll join in your challenge since I'm already doing it anyway!
I'm in! This is the motivation I've needed to finally do something with those scraps. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGroup quilting makes me DO SOMETHING--I sure could go for a finished scrappy project. I have several that need me to spend some time with them. I am in.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a part of this
ReplyDeletemy scraps are taking over!

Please sign me up, I so need some motivation to get back into sewing and blogging. Adds xx
ReplyDeleteI left my msg of interest in other post. But Ill post here to show my interest to join this cause. got loads of scraps and this cause will help me to really use up my scraps.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! Scrap quilts are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI will give it a shot but it will probably turn out to be a doll size quilt since I have very few scraps right now.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in also! I have a large amount of scraps that I need to deal with! Great idea!
ReplyDeletejenn
Wow! I love using up my scraps and I am glad to have found a like-minded group!
ReplyDeleteI just had to move my scraps to bigger bins...I'm in!
ReplyDeleteCan I join in on the fun also?? I won't be able to actually start making anything until the basement is completed (sewage back-up) but I have been going through my fabrics to sort, divest, and organize. . . and I have an overflowing box of scraps that I plan on attacking first once my sewing room is back.
ReplyDeleteBlog addy is: http://www.bookshookssticksetc.blogspot.com
I want to join in! I have so many scraps and now I have an excuse to get rid of them!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join, but I don't have a blog.
ReplyDeleteBarb
Count me in! Hmm, difference between scrap and stash, eh? I think I can do it.
ReplyDeleteCount me in...I just started a quilt from my scrap drawers (bins weren't big enough!) and it doesn't seem to have made a dent!

i would love to join in. pretty please? what is the time frame for completion?
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT idea! I have an out-of-control scraps pile and the need for more space. It's win-win! I'm in too.
ReplyDeleteThis has definitely has my name on it. I love my scraps but I am sick of looking at them so it's time to use them up. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteKathi
I will join too.. is there a date to be done by?
ReplyDeleteI'm in...I so need to work through my scraps!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I´m in! Maria
ReplyDeleteblogless but certainly not scrapless.....would love to play along. thx so much
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Although my quilts are usually scrappy this year my goal is to use up scraps from the scrappy quilts. I've always bought another fabric to set the blocks or do the borders so this will be an additional challenge. Buy nothing!
ReplyDeleteI am in! I have some scraps I am ready to turn into a quilt.
ReplyDeletehttp://loveblankets.blogspot.com/
Me too! Since I can't bear to throw them away, I might as well use them. Thanks for the nudge.

I have so many scrap bits as I can throw nothing away. It would be a good idea to use some up.
ReplyDeleteI just joined your flicker group and posted my scrap blocks. This is fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is still open to join, but I'd love to be a part of this group! I have lots of scraps as I find it hard to toss even the smallest of bits.
ReplyDeleteHello from Alaska, and sign me up! I've got lots of scraps.... and I just joined Amanda Jeans round two of her nine patch sew a long!

Please also count me in. I'm a new quilter and apparently so proud to find out that I have a box of scrap (eventually).
ReplyDeleteThis is something I definitely need to join! I actually swapped for someone else's scraps--when I have 2 large pails full! :)
ReplyDeleteJoined and added pictures to the flickr group! What fun. Just having trouble getting the button on my blog. Might just be a problem with blogger right now! Great idea, I love being thrifty!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late in the game. But I love to sew with scraps. I joined the flikr group. Thanks for creating this fun group.
