Creating Scrap Quilts from Your Stash

Scrap Quilts from Your Stash – Where to Start Creating scrap quilts from your stash can be overwhelming. Many quilters are used to following a pattern when they make a quilt. When I first started creating scrap quilts, I focused on some simple blocks that I liked. In this post, we will discuss quick and easy scrap quilts.

Scrap Quilts from Your Stash

Scrap Quilts – Creating from your Stash When I started quilting, I couldn’t imagine having a stash big enough to create a random scrap quilt, let alone multiple scrap quilts. Fast-forward almost 30 years, and I have enough scraps for multiple scrap quilts. Little by little, I bought fabric that “spoke” to me without knowing what I wanted to use it for. I also bought more than what I needed for a specific pattern. My…
