I admit I am a fabric hoarder….I try to get rid of my scraps but I can't…I just love scrap quilts and if you do then this book will inspire you to use your scraps in creative ways.
I have been making scrappy quilts, scrappy sewing bags and scrappy table runners over the past year….and my obsession hasn't slowed down. I use scraps as my leaders and enders while sewing other blocks together (although last summer I spent a whole day sewing just scraps!) In the end I have what I call my accidental quilts!
It's a fantastic title! And its a fantastic book too!

This book has given me even more ideas (and my scrap boxes are getting bigger!)
Enjoy!

And here’s me trying to be brave and tossing things out!Looks like a good book though.
Looks like a beautiful book Gail. I think I am going to have to try piecing scraps together as leaders and enders… that is a great way to get a quilt top put together without really noticing it! Thanks! Have a lovely week! Christine x
Thanks for the heads-up. I have loads of scraps & I really need to use them up!
Thanks for the heads up. I’m a scrap quilter, too, and I have that same problem. The more scraps I sew, the more scraps I have. I don’t understand scrap math!
