Refresh Your Scrap Bins

Fabric scraps in a basket

A challenge I often hear from quilters when it comes to scrap quilts is, their scraps aren’t pretty like mine.  Today I’d like to address that issue. Give you tools to jump start your scrap projects, by refreshing your scrap bins So you can successfully create beautiful scrappy projects, you’ll be proud to share.

Rethinking Your Scraps

First off, your scraps are not as bad as you think.  After all they are from fabric you loved when you bought it.  You may just need help learning to combine all those colors and patterns.  I offer a monthly workshop. Inside you’ll receive a tip and easy trick to enable combine your scraps with ease.  You’ll  discover how to make your scraps fun and easy to use.  In addition you gain tons of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing.  And did I mention this workshop is FREE!  Be sure to save your spot.

Next, your scraps may just need a refresh.  Sometimes you don’t have a color you want in your scrappy stash.  I’m often lacking in yellow and purple.  To solve this problem I’ll buy fat quarters in the color I need.  Using my scrap sorting method I just need to make a single cut and they can go into my scrap bins.  And did you know that I now have scrap bundles?  I have a low volume bundle, perfect for Bloom.

You will also find scrappy strips to jump start quilts like Seven Sisters, Gradation, or my new Scrap Quilts book.Scrap quilt draped over bench.
