Not Scraps – Beautiful Quilts!
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
If you sew or quilt, you are going to have leftover a.k.a. “scrap” pieces of fabric. What to do with them? Well, most of us can’t bear to throw away any fabric so we save it until it starts to overtake us. I swear it grows overnight in most sewing rooms! I love it when quilters turn these scraps into handmade works of art. These two quilts made by Cynthia, a fabulous Wish Upon A Quilt customer, started out as leftovers…can you believe it? So, grab those piles of scraps and start stitching! Not sure what to do with your scraps? There are many online resources and one of my favorites is Bonnie Hunter’s quiltville.com. Bonnie offers free scrap quilt patterns and lots of “scrap management’ advice. So what are you waiting for? grab a free pattern and start creating your next dream quilt!
