Scrap Quilt Pattern

Scrap Quilts
“What Does One Do With All Those Tiny Misfit Scraps Of Fabric?”

The fabric for this quilt was gathered in charm packs from members of a quilt group l attend. This particular year as our birthdays came around we would receive, from other members of the group, 10 squares 5” x 5” of the worst fabric they had in their stash.

Combined with a variety of off cuts of plain blue fabric and tiny scraps l constructed a pile of snowball squares and a pile of nine patch squares.

The next step involved making up rows of alternating nine patch and snowball blocks.

As the rows were sewn together there was always a nine patch block above and below the snowball block.

Thus the number of scrap squares you construct will determine the finished size of this quilt.

A true scrap quilt.
