This workshop is meant to be made from your stash, not from coordinated fabrics that you have purposely purchased. Totally scrappy is exciting and brave. Scrappy, but within certain colour families, is acceptable from those who are only partway out of their box. Scrap quilts are an all-timefavourite type of quilt. Legend says that the majority of antique scrap quilts were frugal projects, made with bits and pieces of fabric that were leftover from sewing clothing and other items. While that’s very likely true in many cases, especially for quilts made during difficult economic times, researchers think quilters of past generations enjoyed the challenge of combining fabrics just as much as we do today, and likely dipped-in to their fabric stashes to design quilts with lots of visual appeal.
