Scraps: they're the beautiful by-product of quilts we've made. They're saved, treasured, petted -- and sometimes hoarded. Now you can dig them all out of their hiding places and put them to work in this new volume from Quiltmaker. You may choose a kitchen-sink approach where you include them all, or a more controlled color recipe, but we know you'll be thrilled to use up those last bits of bliss. 13 Designs: Lady of Lake Erie; Meet Me at the Manor; Northeast; Don't Fence Me In; Butterfliers; Cactus Cluster; Winding Road; Rosy Posies; Fandango; Dusky Meadows; Batik Scramble; Pile 'O Leaves; and Minnesota Homewarmin

Presents thirty-one projects for constructing "scrap" quilts--a style which utilizes as many as several hundred different fabrics--and offers sewing tips, quilting ideas, and timesaving cutting charts

Divided into sections for the little stasher or the big stasher, this book gives separate cutting instructions for working with all scraps, or with all new fabrics. Emily brings a modern aesthetic to patchwork blocks with a joyful jolt of color!
