The free pattern is Bonnie Hunter's Strip Twist quilt (<a href="https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/strip-twist.html" target="_blank">click here</a> for the pattern), and it's one that I've made at least two times before. Easy, peasy. This one was from a Stonehenge jelly roll that I picked up at a great price at a quilt guild's yard sale a couple of years ago.

I found a few inspiration ideas for a sunflower block on Pinterest and drafted my own layout for the one I liked best.

Many of these fabrics were used in many of my quilts over the last 20 years. The pattern is called Jelly Sandwich by Fons and Porter. I didn't buy the pattern; I just figured it out by watching a video. I couldn't make the link to the video work on the blog, so if you're interested, just do a Google search on "Fons and Porter Jelly Sandwich", and you'll see the video.<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(click on photos to enlarge)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This one is made using the "jelly roll race" (aka "1600 quilt") pattern, but instead of using 2 1/2-inch strips, it's made with 3-inch strips, most of which I picked up on a "free table" at one of my guild's events. I added a few fabrics from my stash, and it made a very large throw-size quilt. It now resides in a friend's house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're interested in the pattern, just google "jelly roll race quilt", and you'll find lots of info.</span><br />

I had seen something similar to this online (no pattern, just a photo), so I just drafted a pattern and used fabric from my stash/scraps. Several of the fabrics were also in the quilt that I had made for the baby's older sibling a few years ago. (see last photo in this post)</span><br />

I've made a number of quilts since last May, so a few posts are in my future.<br />
<br />
This is a quilt from a pack of 30s fat quarters that I had won in a giveaway back in September 2009! I just added some matching solid-ish fabrics from my stash. The free pattern is from filminthefridge.com (<a href="https://filminthefridge.com/2016/04/07/two-by-four-a-quilt-block-tutorial/">click here for the link</a>).<br />

Not enough of the purple for the back, so I added some other pieces from my stash...<br />

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about cutting my scrap fabrics into usable pieces like strips and squares. I cut up enough of them (100 different fabrics) to make this quick and easy scrap quilt. There are 99 blocks on the front and one on the back that became the label.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pattern is "Boxed Squares" from maryquilts.com. <a href="https://maryquilts.com/boxed-squares/">Click here</a> for the free pattern. Mary's site is filled with lots of free patterns.</div>

I don't have much yardage left in my stash (or what I do have didn't work for this quilt), so I pulled out 12 large-print fat quarters that I've had for ages, but didn't know what to do with. Large prints like these are tough to use in quilts that require small pieces, so I decided to just make a wild and crazy backing with them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi43ZoTXfRgQYIUvAnoDdLx45dSAUAxprU2eo98W7pEOBc_Rr9eiHtcN8CGR-RkeGSlgQa_S4UoKhJHRNb7AVVtyD0BA_X0esyphF9Y4RzwYL5s9yiXvCNNwPblKryWhOqgkg92pIHe0TA/s1600/IMG_20190405_135111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="984" data-original-width="1000" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi43ZoTXfRgQYIUvAnoDdLx45dSAUAxprU2eo98W7pEOBc_Rr9eiHtcN8CGR-RkeGSlgQa_S4UoKhJHRNb7AVVtyD0BA_X0esyphF9Y4RzwYL5s9yiXvCNNwPblKryWhOqgkg92pIHe0TA/s400/IMG_20190405_135111.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And to go along with the scrappiness, I used 11 different fabrics for the binding, all pieces that were used as binding in previous quilts.<br />
<br />
I'm really pleased with how this one turned out, so I'm keeping it for a while.

I love bias stripe bindings on quilts, and I especially love it when I can find fabric that has the stripes already printed on the diagonal. It makes for much easier cutting.</div>

We had a raffle quilt preparation bee earlier this week, so the call went out for members to donate their assorted scraps -- all colors/patterns/value. It's amazing how many different fabrics were in the piles to be pressed and cut into usable sizes for the pattern that was chosen. We have quilters who love batiks, quilters who love country colors, quilters who love novelty fabrics, quilters who love modern fabrics, quilters who love bright colors...you get the picture. It's going to be an awesome quilt once it's finished later this year.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, this has inspired me to take some control over my overflowing bins of scraps and to organize them in some way. I've started with cutting a 2 1/2-inch strip and 5-inch square from everything.<br />
<br />
Here's a shot of one of my scrap bins -- the "fun" fabrics, as I call them...Some of them will wind up in my guild's raffle quilt and some are being cut into usable sizes for me to use in future quilts.<br />

It was just one layout of many possibilities.<br />
<br />
Last March, I taught a workshop for my guild using this technique, and during the workshop, I showed several layouts that are possible.<br />
<br />
Here are a few... (click on the photos for a larger view).<br />

It's one of the layouts that's possible using the <a href="https://quiltingtutorials.com/tutorial/disappearing-hourglass">Disappearing Hourglass tutorial</a> by Missouri Star Quilt Company. There are several layouts that can be made from one technique. It just depends on which way you position the blocks. All of the fabrics came from my scraps/stash.<br />

A few years, I treated myself to what I thought was a fat-quarter bundle of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I finally pulled them out a few months ago, but discovered that most of the designs were by Philip Jacobs and Martha Negley. No matter, I love them just as much as Kaffe's fabrics.</div>

As in my previous post, here's a quilt I made using fabric from a "free" table at one of my guild's workshops. Not really my colors, but the fabric was already cut into three-inch strips, so it was easy to quickly sew up a top using the "jelly roll race" method. This will be given away to a worthwhile charity someday.</div>

My guild usually has a "free" table set up at workshops and retreats, and I can't resist bringing some fabric home with me. This quilt is made using one-yard cuts of three fabrics that I picked up a few months ago from one of those "free" tables. The pattern is free and called "<a href="http://woodvalleydesigns.com/images/PDFs/3%20Yd%20Pink%20Picture%20Frame%20Free%20Pattern%20PDF.pdf">Pink Picture Frame</a>" by Wood Valley Designs.</div>

I finished this quilt back in July, in time for my guild's 2018 exhibit. It's the "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Turning-Twenty-Tricia-Cribbs/dp/B000GQQYFI">Turning Twenty</a>" pattern, which uses 20 fat quarters with almost no waste, which means that very little went into my scrap pile when I was done!</div>

It's been months since I last wrote a blog post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been quilting. I've made quite a few tops this year, but many still need to be quilted and bound. Here's one I finished in September for a new member of the family on my husband's side. It's the fourth one I've made using gingham fabrics that I bought in a thrift store several years ago. You can see the other three by clicking <a href="http://hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/2018/05/sweet-quilt.html">here</a>, <a href="http://hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/2018/04/last-finish-for-april.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/2013/11/still-on-track.html">here</a>.</div>

This baby's grandma is the owner of the <a href="http://hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/2013/11/still-on-track.html">chevron gingham quilt</a> I made in 2013, so I thought it would be quite appropriate to make the baby's quilt out of the same fabrics.</div>
