After the clear out of fabric the other day, I thought I'd better work out a way of using all the fabric scraps. The scraps from the Jelly Roll QAL had gone into a little tub. These consisted mainly of 3" strips I hadn't used in the binding of the Jelly Roll Quilt.
One thing about photos, you get to see how things look, and I will be rearranging the blocks before the final joining together. Even though they had all changed positions about three times, I've just seen a better layout.
There are still a few bits left from the Jelly Roll, but I think I have an idea for using them up. More on that another day.

\sometimes if I have a few bits of fabric left I'll use it to make a label for the quilt. If necessary I join pieces together, then embroider the details onto it.
Your blocks look good! Amazing sometimes what I see in a photograph that I don't see when it's right in front of me! LOL
It's great to be so thrifty and manage to use up all the scraps. This should be interesting.
Really like the 9 patches.
We all use up our scraps. Guess it's part of our natures.
They look great! How fun that scraps can turn into a quilt like that :) And I know what you mean about photos - they provide an interesting distance from things that sometimes lets you see them differently.
Great way to use up your scraps. Bonnie over at http://quiltville.com/ has oodles of way to use up scraps and other worthwhile bits and pieces. Good on you for keeping your scraps under control. Mine need a whip and a chair.
A lovely scrap quilt. :0)
