Scrappy Storytime Squares

I really liked the Storytime Squares  pattern that I used in my last quilt, and decided to see if I could come up with enough squares from the scrap drawer to make another one.

I went through the scraps, and pulled out any squares that I thought I could use, arranging them in color piles.

Then I came across  the leftover charm squares from making this quilt.

I added some squares from the piles of colored scraps, and cut them down to size until I had this collection,

and in no time, I had a finished quilt top:

I love this pattern!  The next time we got together with our "Quilt for Kids" coordinator for a Sew Day, I raided the 5" square box and came up with two more Storytime Squares quilt.  The first was this one using mostly brights:


And the second was this one using novelty prints:

    1. Absolutely! Only thing is, it didn't even make a dent in the scraps pile. :-)

    1. Thanks! It's fun to just play with color. Got to find a use for the turquoise, blue and purples now...
