One of my friends told me about Rachel's Postage Stamp Quilt Along.
I jumped over to PSIQuilt to check it out.
I decided to use my pastel scraps for the Postage Stamp Quilt.
I know I said I have to finish a few UFO's before I start another project, but here I am using my stash. Good enough reason for me to start another fun scrappy quilt.
A strip sets.
B strip sets.
Yeah I am using my scraps!
I love my Shape Cut ruler. You are probably wondering what is up with the blue painter's tape. That is just to make it easier for me when I cut up my stash into strips.
I cut several 2.5" segments at once.
Can you see what I did wrong? I think it is a good idea to mark the other side of the Shape Cut ruler with 2.5" strips so that I will not make another mistake like this.
My first few blocks are done. I love how they turned out.
Happy Quilting until next time,

Oh super scrappy is going to be sweet.
Millie, I really like the way this is coming out! Very cute!
Beautiful Millie! I'm going to make one with my scraps some day!
Ooooh, Millie, it looks so pretty! That is going to be a very nice quilt. And from stash just makes it that much better.
I love scrappy quilts, I think you are allowed to start as many projects as you like as long as you are using stash and not purchasing new fabric...that's what I'm telling myself! I think I will hop over and check it out and maybe join in, looks like fun I've always wanted to make a postage stamp quilt.
I love this postage stamp pattern and you are doing such a wonderful job of it. Way to use your scraps! I am going to do this someday...but like you, I really need to finish some others, first! Thanks for sharing. Debi
Very nice, Millie!
it's going to be lovely...I like your JT Shape Cut ruler !
Love the pastels, very sweet and soft.
Pretty stash fabrics you are using. Will have to check out the cutter thingy. Thanks for tip on marking where to cut!
I started the postage stamp sew-along but "meandered" off to another project. Will have to get back to it.
it's so pretty Millie..
Great way to use up scraps..
Your noy buying fabric so that's OK!

I love it! You are o inspiring. I really want to make one now.
Your blocks look great! I want to make one of these but I don't dare start it now! LOL
Millie, your postage stamp quilt is coming along nicely and I like your pastels. It looks like springtime! You are farther along than I am. I'm off to get busy cutting...
Nice job! I love scrappy quilts.
Nice job! I love scrappy quilts.
Oh Millie, you have the best scraps ever!! I love how it is looking. So crisp and clean. I love white!
I love scrap quilts Millie. I was wondering about that ruler but I see you like it. I may have to watch for one on sale. blessings, marlene
Love it that you're using up your scraps! I just love simple patchwork with small squares!
Looking good! I have that ruler too and I use it all the time! Love it!
Millie, this going to be a very pretty quilt and a stash buster too, good for you!
Hugs2u!
Good for you for stash busting.. I have one of those rulers also and forget about it. I should use it more often. Great idea to use the blue tape when you're cutting so many strips.
I LOVE your blocks...the colors are SO yummy! Makes me want to make one of these, but I just now cut out two new projects. This one will have to go on the "back burner"!
Happy Quilting!

Oh Wow...that is a lot of stamps lol...too pretty to lick lol
Oh Millie you blocks are so good and mine so aren't. I am so tempted to start over again and not be so blase about my cutting and piecing. I feel sick over it. I need it to be perfect.
Love
