Scrap Quilt Secrets by Diane D. Knott gives us six secrets on how to make coherent, cohesive scrap quilts that look beautiful while using up the scraps. The secrets are coded using the first letters of the word "SCRAPS". Some of them are available on her blog, but I will leave you to find out these secrets.
There are 16 projects, according to the cover, so I am not going to go through them all, but here are my favorites. The colors in this project makes me think of OSU Buckeyes, and I love how the simple pattern can make such an interesting quilt.
I almost wanted to start digging through my stash to make this one, but I remembered I have Glitter which only has one block made, and think I should wait until I have more patience/confidence to make something like this. A four block quilt like this would be do-able though! This doesn't look much like a scrap quilt, but the backgrounds are scraps, and the orange and red are constants in this quilt.
Another simple and pretty block. Scrap quilts don't have to be bright and colorful!
The cover quilt is also beautiful, and more in line with what I would think a scrap quilt looks like.
Scrap Quilt Secrets....this book sounds right up my alley. I love the Crazy Daisy Quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery fun. I am okay with making scrap quilts, but need to work on pre-picking the fabrics so the projects look more together.
