Ok, so some of you have a lot of scraps and want to use them to make a quilt. You don't want to throw them away but you aren't sure how to get started.
Here are a couple of tips to help you get your project underway:
Tip one: Sort your scrap pieces into piles of similar shapes. This will help you determine what you actually have to work with.
Tip two: Now that you know what you have to work with, start laying the pieces out in a design that looks good to you. It's like putting a puzzel together! Remember the rules of quilting, use light, medium and dark pieces to give your quilt visual interest.
Now that you have layed some pieces out, you are ready to start sewing them together to make your scrappy quilt top.
