DISCOVER and EXPLORE — SCRAPPY QUILTS  
...Scrappy Quilts... Going Scrappy
After working on applique quilts and trying many others in my own
quilt
challenge, it was time to try
something that I haven't done before. Getting tired of running out of fusible web and still wishing to
use what I had, I decided it was time to explore the world of scrappy
quilts.
After a fun search
online, I found some great scrappy techniques that got me inspired. I ordered the book, "Cutting
Your Scraps", and while I waited for its arrival, found another great site, "Quiltville.com" to try out
some free patterns.
Then, it was
time to start cutting up my scraps. Pieces that didn't work for strings, I cut into squares. One of
my favorite quilty things to do is cutting fabric.
 
There are many great ways to use up those scrap fabric pieces. So, why not explore and see
what patterns would get you creating scrappy quilts, too. Free
patterns are a great way to
try a quilt project, while you decide if that is an area you would love to explore, further. Then, you can
borrow from a library or buy your own books for more fun.
Here are examples of
the scrappy quilts tops that I have made in 2011. Wish to see more, then visit the links to my blog that
showcase these quilts.
