Hey friends! Checking in today because I finally get to show you pictures of my quilt, Square-rific! Any of you who have stuck around here with me for any amount of time know how much I love little squares. Lots of them. So when I had a chance to make a quilt for the 2nd volume of Scraps, Inc. of course there were lots of little squares involved! (Remember my first Scraps Inc. Quilt? Still one of my very all time favorites.)
I made Square-rific! from my first two fabric lines, Best. Day. Ever! and Meadowbloom, both by Moda fabrics. It was the first project I made mixing the two lines, and I couldn’t have had more fun with it. In fact, my quilt is probably a little brighter than the rest in the book for that reason! I had just gotten my advance yardage for Meadowbloom when I started making this quilt, and I couldn’t help but use it, even if it was just a bit louder than the proposed color scheme. :) Y’all know how I feel about color.
So. Scraps, Inc. Vol. 2. It’s amazing. The designers who contributed are ridiculously talented, the photos are beautiful, and the patterns are awesome. You’re going to want to get your hands on this one. If you have the first Scraps, Inc. book, you already know this.
Lucky for you, there are two ways to get your hands on a copy:
First, you can comment on this post and tell me which of my patterns you’d love to see a pattern in mini quilt size form for a chance to win a copy (see all my patterns in the shop, here)… (I will choose a winner Monday, the 15th.)

I love my first Scraps Inc book!! Can’t wait for this one!! I would love to see your Whirlwind pattern as a mini!
Grand Parade would look good as a mini Quilt, in my opinion.
Lovely fabrics in the new line.
Radiant is beautiful! Not sure how hard it would be to miniaturize it but I sure do like it!
I would love to see your pattern Miss America in miniature. Thanks for the chance to win your fantastic book. Your quilt looks fabulous. The way you set it together is really unique!
I would love to see radiant or modern hex in a mini! Love the bold use of colors and I have tons of square scraps so always looking for inspiration.
Modern Hex or Whirlwind! I would also love to see Dahlia, a single Dahlia, in a lap size quilt, just in case you ever ask the reverse question. All your patterns are beautiful. Thank you for the chance!
I’d love to see Parcheesi in a mini!
I would live to make a mini Miss America!!
I love Square-rific and Solstice best! I love your use of color in all your quilts. I have some of your first lines of fabric!
I have Russian Rubix as a full size – how about making that mini? Looks like a great book!
I think Sweetie Pie would make an adorable mini!
so fun!
First Date
Modern Hex would be my first choice for a mini version. Thanks for an opportunity to win this great new book!
HELLO,such neat ideas! I think “Grand Parade” would be a cute Mini! Thank You for sharing a great giveaway!
You know, I’ve never made a mini quilt, but I think the Radiant pattern would be cute as a mini!
I’d love to win this fun book.
I’d like to see Building Blocks in a mini quilt size.
Love seeing the projects from this book! I think I would like to see Whirlwind as a mini quilt. Thank you.
Oh how cool, congratulations! I love the brightness and color of your scrap quilt too! I think whirlwind would make a mighty pretty mini:)
Solstice because I especially love it. Tiny squares would definitely involved!
Whirlwind would be nice.
Hi there!
It was very difficult, but I’d like to see Whirlwind in a mini.
Really, anything from your fabric lines is always beautiful. Just lovely.
I’d also love this book. Especially with your work in it.
thanks
I think “twinkle” would be a fun mini.
Love your Scrap-rific, but I want to call it Scrap-alicious! I think a mini Miss America would be da bomb! I may have to click over and get a copy now. *wink!!
I’d love to see a Radiant mini!
Whirlwind
I’d like to see Modern Hex as a mini pattern.
I had a great time making a version of your Russian Rubix pattern. I am using some of the leftover octagons for another quilt with 9 patches. I’d love to see a mini version of that quilt. I love the brightness of Squarific!
Russian Rubix…I LOVE it! Your quilt in this new book is fabulous too!
I like grande parade the best…but the soccer quilt should among one of the patterns too
I’d like Morocco. Or dahlia. Hard to pick just one!
Would love a mini of modern hexies – if that’s even possible. Thanks so much – the book looks scrapilicous!
Modern Hex!
Mind the Box! Or Cozy Cabin! Thanks for the giveaway, April :)
Jigsaw looks like it would be a fun mini!
I’m obsessed with both Meadowbloom and Solstice, you have my vote! I’ll bet have the world’s largest Meadowbloom stash.
Rubix Too
I love Big City: Quilting Pattern # 113 and think it’s be great in a lap size. Thank you for a chance to win. I can’t wait to see the book.
Can’t wait to see the new Scraps Inc book. For free? Yes please! I’m choosing Whirlwind as well.
Miss America or Overcast! I can’t wait to get a copy of Scraps, Inc Vol 2!
Building blocks would be fun as a mini!
Oh, my goodness. What talented artist you are. All those beautiful patterns. I vote Russian Rubix and JIGSAW!! Please, please.
I would love to see Leaflet as a mini quilt pattern. So hard to decide as they are all great!
Whirlwind would be a pretty mini quilt.
patsystitch@gvtc.com
Whirlwind would look lovely as a mini!
I love your quilts. I would like to see modern hex.
Radiant would be fun with lots of little hst’s!
Parcheesi would be fun in a mini.
Russian Rubix would be fun and possibly maddening. Don’t Stop would be almost as fun and not so maddening.
Great looking scrap quilt! WOuld truly brighten up a day.
Not to be a pain but I don’t really like minis so I wouldn’t be a great one to advise. I like to make big quilts so they are useful not just decorative. But I love to use scraps. I just made a scrappy bag and IPad cover using both of your lines. Love them and you. Thanks.
i like modern hex as a mini. i don’t do mini but my friend loves to do them and a lot of your patterns would make great minis
Would love to win the book – it looks great!! I think Whirlwind would look great as a mini!
Love your quilt! I’m so excited about this book. I’d love to see a mini of your Modern Hex pattern. Thanks for the giveaway!
I may be crazy but I think Solltice would be a great mini.
Hard to choose one, but I would love to see Twinkle in miniature sizes! The new book looks wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win it!
I am loving the quilts you all did in this 2nd volume!
I would love to see Mind Gap in a mini … and several others even though I’d never be able to make them!
Thank you for this giveaway chance. I’d love to see the grand parade in a mini. I love that quilt. This new book sounds like a treasure for my sewing room.
I think whirlwind would make a great mini.
Modern Hex would be great in a mini quilt pattern! It offers such possibilities!
Radiant would be my choice.
yes I believe I love color just as much as you apparently do. Yay to color. I love the Solstice quilt. Could you possibly do that in a mini version?
Hi April, yes you do love little squares..so cute and tidy in all your quilts. Thank you for sharing. I’d like
First Date in a mini. I’d frame ’em and give to brides-to-be as a shower gift or on their wedding anniversary to remind of ’em of their true love.
I think Dahlia would be a great mini!
I am new to you and I love your work! I would choose Radiant. Its a beautiful quilt.
I’d like the Flirty in a mini size.
I like your Squares quilt. Have always been a fan of postage stamp type quilts, but I suppose there’s a limit as to how “mini” you can make them. Personally I like quilts that one can warp up and snuggle in. Would love to win this book.
Please make a mini Miss America that would be great! And your Square-rific looks amazing!
Miss America would be great as a mini

I think Jigsaw would look good as a mini quilt. Keep quilting!
This is my first visit to your blog but won’t be my last! I really like your patterns so it was hard to narrow it down to one for a mini quilt pattern. But, I think Parcheesi would make a fabulous mini quilt. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the new book.
Wow, such a beautiful quilt, love the loud colorway! Whirlwind would be fun as a mini.
Cozy Cabin or Twinkle.
I’d love to see Solstice in a mini!

I can’t pick just one! I love all quilts as minis.

I love grand parade and flirty! I have them both but minis would be so fun! I love your fabric and your bright quilt.
I think your Prep School or Twinkle would be great in a Mini!! And I didn’t realize that you had designed both of those fabric lines: I have them both and now I know I can combine them! They look so pretty together in your quilt! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
Grande parade…id like to see.
