Did you see that
DeeRoo is leading Round 9 (!!!) of the
Old Red Barn quilt along? She is doing variations on a theme...and the theme is Ticker Tape. I have a bunch of small scraps...and these would be perfect for a
Ticker Tape quilt. I'm going to give these scraps away to one reader.
There are lots of scraps!
All you have to do is leave a comment here and you will be entered into the drawing. My one stipulation is that you can't make fun of the size of fabric scraps I save. I can't help myself...I have a hard time throwing any fabric away. Obviously. :)
Happy Monday to you!

I LOVE scraps. It seems to be my new obsession. I love taking the tiny scraps and making them into something beautiful! Thanks for sharing them!
Ooohhh i'd love to win this, been meaning to make my daughter a ticker tape quilt for a while now, this would be the perfect excuse!! :)
No scrap is too small :-)
i'd ;ove to make a ticker tape quilt!
I love your ticker tape quilt and have been wanting to make one ever since. Unfortunately, I'm still collecting scraps, so this will be perfect to get started.
Make fun? Never! Thanks for "sharing" your obcession with us!

No scrap is too small, I say. Thanks for the giveaway!
Your scraps look awesome. Please enter me in the giveaway.
No judgement here! I'm a scrap hoarder. Thanks for the giveaway!
I save scraps like that too! They look plenty big to me, lol! Thanks for such a generous giveaway. I love the ticker tape quilt, and would love to have one on MY bed!!
As a Keeper of the Tiniest Scraps on Earth, I vow to never EVER make fun of the size of anyone's scraps.
A ticker tape quilt sounds like a pretty nice way to start off the new year!
I've been buying minimums to get a greater amount of colour in my stash. Unfortunately the minimum is half a metre :-( Oh well, happy new year. Kathie
I'm right there with you ;0) - I can't believe the scraps that I save.
I'm really looking forward to this quilt along!
mmm, I bet I save scraps smaller yours :) But my little boy takes them to glue to his paper quilts. He would love to get some in the mail!!
I love scraps. They look so pretty.
I've always wanted to make a ticker tape quilt, but I don't have the scarps to do it. It'd be such a fun project!
Please enter me! Those little pieces would be great!
No wonder you have sooo many scraps!For someone who makes 26 quilts in a year this is expected :)
I would love to make the log cabin quilt from these scraps for my little one,through your patchwork dress is my favorite..
Happy New Year!!!
The quilt-a-long looks like a lot of fun. It's too bad that I won't have the time to start a new one since I'm heading back to college on Saturday. I'd love to get a bucketful of your scraps for other projects though. I save all of my scraps as well, I just need to develop a better system for storing them. Happy new year!
That would be awesome to be able to make my own scrappy quilt since i just started quilting and haven't yet ammased large amounts of scraps.
Sounds like a huge challenge, especially because I still haven't finished the quilt along I started with you this summer!! But isn't that what quilters do, have a list of UFO's. We need to keep inspired in many ways.
That sounds like a fantastic challenge!
I would love to win some of your scraps, even though I have enough of my own, it's more fun playing with new scraps:), and I would never make fun of you!
Thanks for the chance to win these! P.S. I keep really small scraps, too!
Wow, I feel like I'm throwing a penny into the sea but I'd love to win too, lol.
I'd love to be entered into your giveaway. I like scraps of all sizes and can't throw any of them away either. A ticker tape quilt is on my "to-do" list.
I love your scraps; so colorful. I would love to win them and add to my own bag full of scraps.
Cheryl
I'd never make fun of your scraps! In fact, I'm quite envious. ;-) I just started quilting not too long ago and haven't quite amassed enough scraps for a scrap quilt, so this would definitely rock.
A ticker tape quilt is next on my list for either a dollquilt swap - I'd love to have plenty of scraps of awesome fabrics to use in it ;)
I do the same thing! I've been making various appliques and small pieces are needed for details.
What an awesome collection of scraps! I can't make fun of yours, when they are bigger than mine, AND, I keep them sorted by color. Bits and pieces, but BOY do they come in handy! Thanks for the offer :)
Posted at 10:37 a.m. and by 4:35 p.m., there are 238 comments. LOL
I won't make fun of you! Even the tiniest pieces can be used for SOMETHING!
It doesn't look like very many scraps to me!! :) I love scraps..fun to see what I can make!
I can't throw a thing away, much less fabric! I'd love to own your scraps!
Make fun of your scraps? Of course not, I have a similar sized box of scraps. I can't bear to throw away fabrics - especially ones I know I will never be able to replace. Denyse Schmidt Katie Jump Rope for example. In fact most of what people in blogs call scraps I still have neatly folded in my colour boxes!
So adorably cute. I'm so glad it isn't just me. Nice to know we'll never run out of fabric.
Thanks for the chance to give your lovely scraps a new home!
Sounds fun. Ive never made a ticker tape quilt before. I think it would be great to start off with some one elses scraps!
Scraps are such fun to play with. You won't fiind me making fun of them just having fun making with them.
I'd love to win your scraps. Your's are so colorful. Thanks for sharing.

That's OK. I save little scraps, too :)
My friends make fun of me because of the size of scraps I save, so I rummaged thru her fabric trash one day and made a small ticker tape quilt out of her so called trash she was amazed.
Thanks for the chance to win I love scraps.
They are very similar in size to my scraps, although mine have gotten bigger since my 2 girls steal every thread I will let them get their greedy little hands on.
see this is exactly why i read your blog! even if i don't win, my next quilt will be a ticker tape.
Oo...oo...oo...oo!!! I could never make fun of your scraps!! Your blog is one of a three that 'got me started' on this blog quilting path!!!! How cool would it be to have some of your fabrics in a ticker tape quilt of my own!!!!!!
I save all my bits of fabric too-no matter how small they are. Thanks for the giveaway.
You posted this 8 hours ago and you already have 255 comments? E-gads! Reminds me of the time you got a million comments in one day on that fantastic quilt! I really don't need your scraps as I have tons of my own, but thanks anyway, dear friend!
Great giveaway! Would love to make a ticker tape quilt!
Oh, I would love to win. What fun~
Ooh, scraps scraps scraps scraps scraps scraps. I love scraps. Funnily enough, I have a ticker tape WIP that is waiting for more scraps. Perfecto!
OK! I'll play!
little scraps make me excited in a big way! i've never seen a ticker tape quilt before... your looks awesome. i'd love to try that one day. good luck to everyone!
I would love the opportunity to win a bucket of scraps. My online bee is making blocks with scraps and I had to buy fabric to make scraps in requested colors.
I would LOVE to win the scraps! Am planning on making a ticker tape quilt for my daughter's dolls!
My fingers are crossed - would love to have these scraps to call my own!
I love scraps!! I would LOVE to try my hand at a ticker tape quilt!
I would never poke fun at any size scraps! Would love to combine this with what I have... Ahhhh scrappy goodness! Love it! :o)
Woo hoo! I would love to win these scraps! I have been waiting on a more varied selection of scraps than what I have currently got saved to do my first ticker tape quilt and these would help out immensely!
WOW! What a lot of readers hoping to win your scraps. Count me among them!
Your scraps look like so much fun! and certainly not too small. Please put my name in the giveaway!
Oh yay!!! I have the perfect project for these! Crossing my fingers I win! What a great giveaway :)
What fun! I love scraps, especially someone else's since they are all new to me! Thank you for the giveaway! My fingers are crossed!
I'd love to be entered too.
I recently made a doll size ticker tape quilt out of my husband's worn out shirts -- blues, grays, and tan with a plaid back. I would LOVE to be picked the winner of this container of scraps so that I can make a COLOR ticker tape quilt!
I always love your fabrics and I would love to win the scraps....I hate to throw anything away too :)
I won't make fun I promise! Look like lovely scraps!!! THanks;)
That is a wonderful collection of scraps. How can you bear to part with it? You are very kind.
No making fun here- I save everything down to 3/4". Looks like a fun scrap box.
You can never have enough scraps, large or small! I've been admiring your ticker tape quilt for a long time now. Thanks for the giveaway!
As for me...I rarely save anything smaller than 1". However, there are exceptions. But I don't have THESE colors :)
I save tiny fabric scraps too. They are simply too pretty to throw away and you might need them for something one day.
If I won your scraps I would be so happy!
I love the ticker tape quilts and playing with new scraps would be so much more fun!
Making comments on someone's scraps is like making a comment on a man's...well you know.
I would love your scraps! I have been saving tiny bits but don't have enough yet.
I can't mock your scraps, I just spent some of my weekend sorting through my own tiny-scrap bin and couldn't bear to throw any away.
wow there are so great scraps in there - no matter what the size!
I would love to add some of your scraps to a ticker tape quilt on my plan list. It's not going to be as large as yours -- aiming for a doll size to add to my daughter's room.
Oh honey, I would NEVER make fun of the size of anyone's scraps. Mine are probably much smaller than yours are. Would I need to take a photo to prove it?
What a generous give away! And there's no such thing as a scrap too small!
How wonderful! I love scraps. I'm a brand new quilter and I happen to need them! Yay!
No scrap is too small!
I can see not throwing away bits of fabric.Sometimes you can get a pretty quilt out of the oddest scraps.
I never throw away any scraps! Now I know how I'll use them . . . lots of great ideas in your post and these comments, too!
How grand! I have tons of scrappy scraps too... but yours look like more fun to work with than mine. Do you just want to switch? ;)
Oh my gosh, how fun! Thanks dearly!
Scraps are scraps no matter the size---so it's all good8)
Your scraps are pretty and I loved your post that you did yesterday.
I promise not to make fun of the size of your fabric scraps!! They look like scrap heaven to me. :)
No making fun here, I love little scraps. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the chance to win! I love scraps.
Wow, I'd love to give the ticker tape quilt a go. Having only completed 3 quilts (I only started mid last year and have done them all by hand sewing!), I've not yet managed to accumulate very many scraps of my own yet. This would be a fantastic way to add a whole lot to my collection very very quickly. And given the size of some of the pieces I've put aside (just so pretty, I can't bare to throw them out) it would be hypocritical for me to laugh at yours! My fingers are crossed.
oh, and happy new year, hope this one's an awesome one.
Kim.
Yipppppeeeeeeee!
I love your scraps! Well, that would be because I love your quilts! I too have wanted to do a Ticker Tape quilt ever since I saw yours. It's on my to do list for this year so winning would help me tremendously! And you should see my sewing table! lol I can't bear to throw fabric away either. ;)
Hey ...
I am a big fan of yours!!! I can't wait to participate in the quilt along. Since I saw your Ticker Tape, I have been saving scraps to do one of my own!!! This has given me some great motivation!!!
Christa
oh, I really want to win this giveaway! I looooovvvveee scraps!
I made a ticker tape doll quilt for my daughter after seeing yours! I would love to win the scraps (my husband might not, but I would love them!!)
I would love to win your scraps, AJ. Send them my way!!
If I had such fun scraps I wouldn't give them away either! Thanks for the giveaway!
have "rationalised" scraps and strings, they are decidedly hungry
would love to win these and feed my bin.....and they can all live happily ever after
well, until I get around to my own Ticker Tape quilt ;)
I've been saving my scraps for a quilt, and would love to combine with yours, and I won't have to wait for forever to make my quilt!
I also save all those VERY small sizes.
Would love some scraps to play with. I save all mine, but don't have very many yet. : )
I always seem to find things to use the small scraps, so I keep them all too!
haha, I save wicked small bits too!
I would never make fun of you because I have the same problem. :-)
I, too, have a bit of a scrap obsession. And my husband would just shake his head as I jumped up and down when someone else's box of scraps came in the mail! =) I love your giveaways.
Oh I would love to win this!!! I have a really hard time throwing anything away! Which is why my resolution is to be more simple. But I would love to make my little girl a quilt for her big girl bed.

The pictures don't make your scaps look very small! And great colors!
My rule is 1" X 1" minimum. Unless it's a long strip.
Scraps are the best part of quilting-- no matter how small. Thanks for the giveaway!
Robin, welchrobin@hotmail.com
I save all sizes of scraps...in fact I wish I had enough to do something with. Great giveaway. :)
I'm in! I have just started to quilt and this would be a great addition to my fabric stash and give me another project to practice with! Making a ticker tape quilt sounds great! Good luck to everyone! and Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooh, I'd love to win your scraps.
you know what? you absolutely are not alone! ;)
Looks like fun!
I love the ticker tape quilt! I'd like to make one with Christmas fabric sometime.
I promise not to make fun of the size of your scraps...especially since I'm guilty of the same thing:)
No way would I make fun of your scraps...I save all but the tiniest crumbs...beautiful colors!
I am #328, it feels like a lucky number! jk. But who doesn't love a good bucket of scraps?!
Thanks for the chance to win. Sometimes I think I should be saving some of the smaller scraps, but I make sure to cut very small and use the really small stuff for stuffing ;) So I won't be making fun of you.
I don't have any scraps - I would love your bin of fabric!
Laura
This would be a great prize to win. I have two baby cousins arriving early this year and ticker tape quilts for both are in the making.
I LOVE your ticker tape quilt and would love to make one this year...especially with your scraps!
Thank you for this giveaway. I do not have many scraps and want to make a scrappy quilt oh so much. Small scraps can be sewn together to make fabrics for cutting larger pieces so know can make use of these. This is a great way to start the New Year - thanks for the chance.
I have a very hard time throwing away fabric too! I save anything that is big enough to sew on to something too! There are tons of people commenting, but I figure I could at least try to win! Love your scraps!
I've been wanting to try making one of the ticker tape quilts-- and using up someone else's fun scraps sounds like a great way to get started (and finished? ;) Its kind of a "grass is greener" for me, you know? The scraps on your side look better than the scraps on my side of the fence..er, computer!
who could possibly make fun of ANYTHING you do..... if they've ever seen the creations you make with those tiny bits of fabric..... they couldn't possibly make fun!!!
count me in....
xo
eva
I want in! Looks like fun to me :)
I'm so happy to know that the scraps I keep are "normal"... at least to someone else (you)!
My scraps are about the same size too and I compulsively cannot throw them away (hey that's good $$ down the drain right?). What can I say? One person's scraps are another person's treasure? Especially in this case!
I love scraps too and often shake my head as I drop small pieces into my drawer. It's great to know that I am not alone :) Thank you for the chance! ~Amy
What a fun giveaway!! That would make a great quilt!
Don't feel bad! I'm the same way. I just spend TOO much money and love what I buy TOO MUCH to toss out even the smallest scrap! I always think "I'm sure there is SOMETHING I can use it for!" lol :)
Oh how fun!!! Thanks for a chance to win :) I've done a small doll blanket ticker tape quilt and was thinking about doing a bigger one... yay!
i was thinking of making a quilt as u go tickertape quilt this year. i would love to win your scraps. cheers! marcus

Donna
I do exactly the same thing with scraps, I have lots of tiny scraps :)

I love that someone else keeps all the scraps!! Would love to win!!
Thanks so much for the giveaway. crossing my fingers. i have been collecting scrap fabric too to make a postage stamp quilt for the living room. it has been about a year in making. this would definitely give it a jump start.
Love the scraps and the stipulations, that might be a real challenge!
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

oh if only I hadn't made purge and declutter one of my new years resolutions!!! I am almost finished a ticker tape dolls quilt - I love the freedom and the "something from nothing" feeling that comes from working with scraps!
As for size - I'm collecting 1 1/2 inch squares for a scrap pattern I love :)
Hi Amanda,
Hope to join in the fun and win this back to Singapore :):):)
Cheers!
Oh, I would never mock the size of your scraps! I save small stuff, too, especially the scraps of my favs! Thaks for giving us a chance to win!

Edit from Hungary
Thanks for the chance to be a part of the AmandaJean legacy!! I won't judge your scraps, just as I hope you won't judge my finished quilt too harshly... Have a great Tuesday!
Amanda, what a nice thing to do for some lucky reader! I love the idea of a ticker tape quilt. :).
I'd never never make fun of small scraps. I love them.
Yes, I know the feeling. I have lots of little scraps too but could always enjoy more! I've made one Ticker Tape quilt and planning another so some different scraps would be just perfect!~
i save all my scraps too, even the little pencil thin shaving. i use them to stuff dotees!
i have a hard time throwing away any amount of fabric as well. scraps can always come in handy!
Yeah scraps! I am so excited to make this quilt.
I'd love to make the ticker tape quilt! Plus you always have such awesome fabric, who cares about size!
My 3 daughters are asking for doll quilts and I don't have a lot of "girly" scraps for them... these would be perfect!!! Thanks for the chance!
I see lots of lovely dots! Would love to bring them home to meet my family of dotty scraps...
As a new quilter I have just a small collection of scraps! The ticker tape quilt looks so fun, I'd love some scraps to make it!!
I LOVE scraps. I just discovered strip piecing and haven't done anything since. Would love to have your scraps.
You are SO NOT alone in the scraps department!
What great scrap! I'd love to attempt a ticker tape quilt. Thanks for sharing.
I would love the scraps! So much fun!
I bet my scraps are smaller than yours. ;) I don't discriminate though, and would be happy to have them anyway. :)
i'd love to make a ticker tape quilt, but definitely don't have enough scraps of my own. this is a great giveaway!
This is such a great give-away! I just finished my first quilt (I started easy and took my inspiration from your "Three of a Kind"), so am lacking in the scraps department. Would love to have these to play with!
ha ha! No worries on the size of your scraps...I started wondering the other day how little something has to be before I and others decided to toss it out. Turns out to be *very* small!! :) But that's okay, right, b/c then you have something to use for a Ticker Tape Quilt - yahoooooooooooo!
Love the scraps and love the container too! I keep small scraps to, you just never know when you might need them. I love those postcard quilts, maybe I can work on one of those someday.
Oh, I'm working on a ticker tape quilt right now and can always use more scraps!!!!
Oh I would love to win these. I just found out I need to make 2 baby quilts for family members that are due this summer. These would be inspiration. Thanks for the chance.
I totally save scraps this size!!! I just haven't been quilting long enough to have enough tiny scraps for a ticker tape quilt, so I would love to win, thank you so much!
I would be thrilled to win your scraps!!
I save the tiniest scraps too, you just never know...
Now I have seen your fabulous quilt, I am seriosly thinking of joining in Dolores' quilt-a-long. Would always welcome more scraps!
I would love to use your leftovers - give me a pleasure to 'see' your beautiful quilts.
I have three baby quilts to do in the next 5 months. I love your ticker tape method.
I would LOVE to win your darling scraps! I will make 2 ticket tape quilts out of it for my daughters.
PS My scraps are even smaller and I even save selvages!!!
I'm glad I checked just now because it looks like the comment i left last night isn't there! I'd love to take part in this scrap fabric giveaway! Thanks for the chance! and for such an excellent blog! Good Luck to everyone!
This looks like a fun new project for me. I would love to do a ticker tape quilt.
I would love to try a ticker tape quilt. I have not been quilting long enouph to have a supply of scraps, so this would be wonderful!
I would never make fun of the size of your scraps....I have a terrible time throwing even tiny triangles away!!
What a fun giveaway. thanks!
Happy New Year.
