Scrap Quilting

I did the craziest thing!  I cut most of my fat quarters into 2", 2 1/2", and 3 1/2" strips.  I decided I may use these fat quarters if I already had them cut into strips.  If you think about it, most of the pieces for our blocks are cut from strips.   You can easily cut half square triangle units and quarter square triangle units using the strips and special rulers.  So, why not cut up those fat quarters and make a quilt or two, or three, or four...
I tried to post pictures last night but could not find out how to post my pictures from my iPad to my blog.  Maybe someone can give me some advice on that.
I found Bonnie Hunter's website:  Quiltville.com. She has some free patterns using scraps and strips.  Beautiful quilts and instructions.  I finished piecing two quilts from her patterns last weekend.  I will try to post pictures later, from my computer (unless someone can tell me how to do it from my iPad).
I still have a plastic drawer full of 2 1/2" strips and another drawer full of 2" and 3 1/2" strips.  I need to start another quilt soon.  Of course, if I don't get started soon, they will last and they will be there when I am ready to do any project using strips.  I was going to work on my scrap box, but just couldn't
wait to get started on a quilt.  That's why I used my fat quarters.  Visit again soon and I will have pictures posted.
