Scrap Fabric Quilts
Do you wonder what to do with small, leftover pieces of fabric?
Scrap Fabrics can be used to make all kinds of lovely quilts.
They make wonderful, greatly appreciated, charity quilts, too.
For a list of recipients for your charity quilts visit Nancy's Notions and our Links page.
Once there, click on "Creative Kindness" and you'll find people to help.
After Each Project Prepare Your Scraps For Future Use!
- Cut small scraps into 2 inch, 1 1/2 inch or 1 inch squares.
These can be used in many ways, the most popular of which is watercolour quilt designs.
- Sort your strips into either colour groups or value groups of dark, medium, and light.
- Sort your printed squares into 4 groups by background: neutral, light, medium, and dark colours.
- Divide each of the these into 2 more groups by the prints - small quiet prints, and larger vivid colours. Solid strips make up another group.
