While sorting through my supplies, I realized that I have a lot of scraps. The scrap drawer was getting hard to close because it was so full. I looked through various books and magazines, searching for the right pattern, and found Four Squares on the Quilter's Cache website. The instructions are precise and clear, and I took a cue from the pattern and used up some of my blue and green scraps for the bigger pieces, and yellow, white and gold for the smaller pieces.
I've made a lot of headway so far. Each block is 12" finished, which is a nice size for other projects as well. I've been thinking these would make nice hot pads. I actually had to go buy more yellow fabric for this project, but I'm using up lots of blues and greens and I like the scrappy look. I think this will keep me busy for awhile.

That's a GREAT scrap pattern! I love the way it's coming together on the design wall. Are you making it bedsized?
Looks great! Definitely a fun scrap quilt.
I like the diagonal line of the white and yellow squares. A neat way to use up your scraps!
I love old fashioned scrap quilts and this is definitely a winner. It's neat that it has 2 different blocks.
Nice! I love the way you've used the diagonal 4-square blocks. Do you machine or hand quilt?
I'm aiming for about 60 x 70 inches for the quilt. Lately, Debra does my machine quilting, I haven't hand quilting anything for quite awhile.
Looks great! I love scrap quilts.
