Busy with Scraps

Two more scrap quilts are finished.

This is called "Step in Time".  

I made it with 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strips.
The pattern is found here although the author used charm squares and I used scraps.  When ever I see a quilt made with charm packs I think scraps. 

I called this one "Spinners"

I used 5 inch squares to make half square triangles and squared them up to 4 1/2 inches and then I sewed 4 of them together to make a larger square, then used the hinge method to sew them together.

With this method you quilt the squares first and then hinge them together with sashing strips on the top and bottom of the quilt.
