Is your fabric hoard growing on a daily basis, taking over shelves,
spilling out of drawers, stacking up on chairs? Take action now -
make a stash-buster quilt! Lynne Edwards, world-renowned quilt
maker, teacher and author of the bestselling Making Scrap Quilts to
Use It Up!, continues her campaign to help you reduce your fabric
collection, leaving you free to go out and buy more! In this
colourful book, 20 scrap quilt projects are described in
step-by-step detail, complete with easy-to-follow piecing diagrams.
Additional quilts are pictured to provide added inspiration for
combining your leftover fabrics. Time-saving techniques are
featured to help your quilt grow speedily. Arranged in six
chapters, the book starts with Layer Cake quilts, where several
squares of fabric are layered and then cut into wedges, just like
cutting the slices of a layer cake, to create three different scrap
quilts, each with a variation. The next chapter, Stitch a Strip,
looks at quilt designs made from patchwork strips, while Squaring
it Up gives you quilt designs to make from fabric squares. The Bits
and Pieces chapter looks at joining different shaped pieces into
attractive blocks and designs. Finally, the Small but Satisfying
chapter includes a selection of smaller projects from bags to soft
toys to ensure every last scrap is used! The book ends Lynne's
expert advice for finishing a quilt including how to add borders to
your quilt, how to attach the quilt backing, how to bind a quilt
and advice on quilting the finished item. So, don't let your fabric
obsession get the better of you - get creative, use up that stash
and then you'll have the perfect excuse to restock!
