The QM Scrap Squad has been busily sewing on their scrappy versions of Julie Herman’s Raspberry Dessert.
You’ll find this quilt in the May/June Quiltmaker which begins mailing to subscribers today. The Scrap Squad got the pattern February 1 and took off like wildfire! I am so excited to show you what they’ve done. There is a giveaway on each SS member’s blog: you could win one of Julie’s Herman’s new patterns, and they are awesome!!! Please click on each quilt to read more and enter that giveaway.
First, a refresher: QM Scrap Squad is eight select readers who make scrappy versions from one pattern in each issue. The idea is to give you inspiration to use fabrics you already own so you can bust that stash you’ve been building!
And now, drum roll please, here are Scrap Squad versions of Raspberry Dessert; each photo links to the maker’s blog or webpage where you can read more and leave comments for giveaways:
This gorgeous blue and yellow version is by Kimberly. It's all sunshine and blue skies!
Here's the full shot!
This cheerful fruit-flavored version is by Donna. Isn't the border a nice accent?
Donna included this photo showing how she switched centers to one with more contrast. A good decision!
Dionne's Rainbow Raspberry, in which the colors seem to travel across the quilt in succession.
Going the extra mile, Dionne made a springtime runner for her mantel from the same pattern.
Talk about switching gears! This is Pat's quilt in colors the Squad dubbed "grilled cheese and tomato soup."
That’s a whole lot of eye candy, eh? I don’t want to overwhelm your senses,
so come back soon for the rest of the Scrap Squad’s amazing scrappy sensations and more fun giveaways!

Beautiful….so different…each one unique…love them…
Oh my goodness! These quilters are sooo creative! Love the variations!
I like how the scrap squad’s quilts have totally different personalities from the original. I love scrap quilts because they have so much energy. thanks for showing the quilting world that scraps are a useful part of a quilter’s stash.
Great graphic quality and color play in each quilt. My favorite quilt, with its rich, earthy hues, is “grilled cheese and tomato soup.”
I am always facinated how one pattern, when done by different quilters results in such a wide variety of finished quilts. Each one is marvelous!
Wow! Makes me want to clean out my scrap stash!
Wow!!!!! I love scrappy quilts and this is a pattern I want to try out! They are all so very beautiful. My favorite two are the “rainbow” effect and the reproduction fabrics. I am going to become a follower!
Just subscribed to the blog this week and I’m already loving all the inspiration. These are all so different, yet the same pattern. What a way to get the creative wheels turning. Must get off the computer and go finish a project so I can start another – LOL
I love Julie’s patterns and I love seeing all of the different versions of the same quilt
So many choices, and they are all making me hungry this morning. It is going to be a “quilty” day here. Thanks for the neverending inspiration.
What great quilts!
What talented quilters!
Love all the variations in color and finishes – what an inspiration!
Can’t wait to get my issue!! These are just lovely and I’m excited to try!

This is such a great idea. I’ve already completed a top using colorways from the last scrap squad round and it’s going to be really hard not to start another after seeing these.
I loved seeing what they all came up with. It’s always neat to see how a the same pattern can look sooo different depending on what fabrics are used. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
Looks like a really versatile pattern, and I liked seeing the different color combinations (even grilled cheese and tomato soup).
thanks!!
wow same pattern but very different looks. They all look lovely.
Mmmm, grilled cheese and tomato soup. Thanks for showing the variety and the possibilities for Julie’s pattern. ~~Lisa
I just LOVE the different colorways everyone came up with.
Good job, girls!
Pat
Wow love this pattern. Can’t wait for my copy to arrive in the mail
There’s nothing quite like getting to see a quilt design done in a number of differing colorways! I will be back to check your site again…terrific!
I love all the different color variations.
I love them all! Such a variety of interpretations, and this is such a fun project.
They look so different with the change in colors! What a great pattern!!!
I was fun to hop and see all the quilts! I love the Rainbow Raspberry one! thanks.
I love all the different “flavors” of the quilt pattern, but I especially love the grilled cheese and tomato soup quilt!
All the different quilts are very pretty. It is hard to decide if the Rainbow Raspberry or the Fruit Flavored is my favorite.
Diane, you have been busy! I’ve been enjoying the SS blog hop. Everyone is selecting great fabrics to work with. Sandi
OOOooh, I can wait to get my issue! Just in time too, ready to start a new project. It’s always so amazing to see the same pattern but with each quilter’s “personality” beaming through via the colors!
I love seeing the variety of colors used with the same pattern! So many ideas to run with!
Very cool to see all the different quilts made from the same pattern!
I like the fruit flavored quilt! They are all lovely and such a nice variety of colors.
Interesting pattern…this looks like it could easily replace my all time favourite, the Log Cabin!
its really amazing how the quilts look so different in other color combos, especially the multi colored ones.
After visiting the scrap squad individual blogs, I’m here. It is fascinating to see how the same pattern can be interpreted in so many settings and colors. Thanks for the preview. Now, would love to win that fabric so have a headstart on what is needed to make Raspberry for me. All of Julie’s new patterns are cute.
That’s a great pattern to be interpreted in so many ways to show each quilter’s personality. And a wonderful way to use those small fabric pieces that you don’t know what to do with!
Love how each color way makes an entirely different look.
And…. I want to win something.
Oh, wow. What variety! Donna’s looks like candy to me… they’re all so pretty!
Wow, you found a great bunch of quilters when you picked this scrap squad. Each quilt is so beautiful and I love that they are all so different from one another! Thanks for the chance to win.

A nice pattern…works up well with the various color combinations. So interesting to see the effect of diffferent colors.

Thanks for the fun!
I love Julie’s stuff. She is so talented. Thanks for sharing. I want this pattern. Have to get it asap. So beautiful!!

That’s a really interesting pattern – so fun to see how different quilters use the same pattern to make a variety of quilts! I especially love Donna’s colorful version! Julie is so talented.
It is great to see how different they look with the various fabrics/hues chosen. I have just received 2 different layer cakes and am looking for lots of inspiration.
Love Robert Kaufman fabrics!
Beautiful quilt. How different each color quilt looks!
Lovely pattern and the different interpretations are each stand on their own I’ll be happy to get my magazine and try it out.

All these quilts are beautiful and inspiring to quilters. I look forward to my Quiltmaker magazine.
Love how each version has its unique appeal!
Wow – they’re all so gorgeous!! I especially like the brightness of the blue & yellow one, and the rainbow raspberry coloring is beautiful. It’s neat to see the same pattern made in many different colors.
I really like seeing everyone’s own version of the same pattern. Gives me lots of great inspiration.
WHO CAN GET ENOUGH OF QUILTMAKER?! Not me…I enjoy all the patterns and everyones different versions of the patterns.I have been a QUILTMAKER fan for many many years!!

I love the yellows and blues together!
Wow. It’s amazing how all of the versions of this same quilt have different personalities because of the varying color schemes. You could make the same quilt for the entire family and each would feel like they have their own. Grilled cheese and tomato soup… cute. Thanks!
What beautiful quilts, I love the blue and gold combination.
Debbie
Robert Kaufman fabric???!!! Oh,please, please, please pick me!!
I love this Raspberry Dessert pattern! Julie Herman certainly is a very talented designer! She definitely has a way with scraps! :^)
The colours on the black background are so striking! They’re all lovely and cheerful! A sign of spring perhaps.
It was like going to the quilt show, seeing such beautiful and outstanding quilts. the ladies should be proud they all did a excellent job on their quilts. The Raspberry Dessert Patern is displayed in beautiful colors. Julie Herman you did a great design here. The ladies did a wonderful job in showing how the pattern can look so different with different color scraps. The jewel tones really did the pattern justice. Great Job Ladies!!!!!!!! You all get A+ on your projects.

You’ve got to love a quilt called “Grilled cheese and tomato soup” – that’s awesome!
I never have made a true scrappy quilt but with your patterns anything is possible . Just have to have the time to sort the scraps.
Everyones stash must be so different. I love all the variations of just one pattern. I am amazed and envious of people who can envision and create different patterns for quilts.
I’m always amazed at how fabric can change a pattern. Everyone’s choice of fabrics was fantastic. I like the pattern and will be looking for it.
Everyone’s choice of fabrics was fantastic. I like how the fabric can change the quilt so much that it doesn’t look like the same pattern. I will be looking for the magazine in my mailbox.
The quilt is wonderful regardless of fabric choice! It is hard to believe these are all scrappy quilts!
Everyone of those ladies deserves a reward for their fabulous work. The quilts are gorgeous. I really loved the rich colors in Carol’s quilt and would love to be able to make one just like it.
…..Hi everyone .I was always good at keeping secrets but for some reason I was itching to come out with this one Our latest Scrap Squad project was AWESOME! My seven partners in crime and I the Quiltmaker Scrap Squad were assigned this pattern to be made with our scraps.
