Scrap Quilt Patterns
Scrap quilt patterns are among some of the most popular here at Quilting Daily! Stemming from the early days of quilting, scrap quilting originated from scarce resources and limited funds. Scrap quilting today appeals to a wide range of quilters – from modern quilters who use their scraps to make an improvisational wall quilt to traditional quilters looking to make popular quilt patterns like a Dresden plate or coin quilt. It can also be a way to commemorate your own quilting history. After all, each of those scraps has come from a different quilting project you’ve worked on! They may have even come from friends or family – making your next scrap quilt that much more special.
Editor's Note: Sadly, we acknowledge the passing of artist, quilter, and author Faith Ringgold, who died April 13th, 2024 at age 93. We hope you enjoy this article that includes Faiths influence in the quilting world.
Every spring after doing a thorough sweep of my studio, organizing my fabric stash, and culling my collection of books and notions, I feel refreshed. My space is cleared of clutter, my tools and materials are organized for easy access, and my extra books and fabrics have found a new home. My studio feels noticeably lighter and fresh. Nothing is weighing me down.
