Book excerpt: Is anything more gratifying than being able to make something out of nothing with your pile of scrap fabrics? This is what scrap quilting helps you achieve, so read on... Scraps have been used in quiltmaking for a very long time, and as a quilter, I enjoy the practice of carrying on the heritage of scrap quilting in my work. Scrap quilts aren't out-of-date just because you choose to follow the footsteps of quilters from yesteryear and keep the tradition alive. It's actually the exact opposite! Making the most of what you currently have isn't just beneficial to your soul but also to your wallet and the environment. Scrap quilting is a cost-effective method of making patchwork, especially for quilters who enjoy using up every little bit of their scrap fabric. Even though scrap quilting patterns offer a basic framework to quilt with your pile of leftover fabrics, there are several fundamental techniques and know-how that you need to be familiar with to enable you to use your stash fabrics the right way to quilt lovely patterns and projects. These patterns and projects could span from traditional quilt blocks to free-form improvised quilting. Regardless of your preferred quilting technique, this book, Scrappy Quilts Handbook, aims to help you find inspiration to create lovely quilt designs from your stashed fabrics. Below are what is covered in this book; 1. Sourcing for scrap fabrics if you don't have enough in your stash. 2. Sorting and organizing your scrap fabrics the right way 3. Choosing fabrics for your scrap quilts 4. Tips to help you plan effectively before undertaking a scrap quilt project 5. Essential supplies and materials needed 6.
